Founded in 2005, The Christian Pulse began with a simple goal in mind, …to connect like-minded Christians with each other.
However, in mid-2006, we decided to take this idea one step further and to transform The Christian Pulse into a true, community building resource with a focus on music and entertainment. This strategic move fundamentally changed the direction of the organization and launched us into an exciting, new stage of growth. We redirected our efforts, recruited new talent, and revised our website to support this new mission.
TheChristianPulse.com is just one, small part of the larger vision though. As The Christian Pulse continues to grow, we will explore new ideas and ways to help foster relationship building, spiritual growth, and creative connection in the Christian community.
The future is bright and the possibilities are endless!
Thank you for visiting our website and supporting our mission!
