The International Christian Media Fellowship (ICMF) will hold the Global Christian Media Forum 2025 from November 14–16, 2025, in Dover, New York, bringing together Christian communicators, publishers, broadcasters and digital media innovators from around the world.
The three-day gathering will offer a blend of worship, fellowship, strategic dialogue, and professional collaboration, reflecting ICMF’s mission to strengthen and connect Christian media leaders globally. Participants will take part in morning devotions and worship sessions before engaging in panel discussions, practical workshops, and facilitated conversations on current challenges and opportunities in the media landscape.
A key feature of this year’s Forum will be dedicated times for Affinity Groups, allowing peers working in similar roles to learn from one another, build partnerships, and develop shared solutions. Affinity Group tracks will include Editorial, CEOs & Executive Leadership, Business Development, Design, IT & Digital Infrastructure, Administration & Finance, and Social Media & Audience Engagement, among others. Each group will address sector-specific needs, emerging trends, and collaborative opportunities.
ICMF will also host meetings of its Committees and Task Forces, enabling members to advance ongoing initiatives related to training, resource development, global networking, and leadership formation.
One of the Forum’s highlighted sessions will focus on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the newsroom. The presentation will explore AI’s potential to enhance reporting and workflows, its ethical and editorial risks, and practical techniques for responsible integration into news production. Participants will hear from practitioners and industry observers examining how Christian media can leverage technology while maintaining truth-centered journalism grounded in biblical values.
ICMF General Secretary Timothy Goropevsek expressed enthusiasm for the gathering, saying, “We look forward to welcoming Christian media professionals from different regions of the world to Dover this November. The Forum is always a special time of fellowship, learning, and encouragement, and we anticipate rich conversations as we seek to strengthen one another and advance the global Christian media movement together.”
