Gospel Today Magazine began in 1989. It was originally called THE GOSPEL SCORE, and was a newsletter designed to provide information about Gospel music to a national audience. In 2003, Gospel Today was selected as the OFFICIAL MAGAZINE for T.D. Jakes' MEGAFEST. The largest Christian Festival in the world. During the next three years, Gospel Today was re-selected. Over 100,000 attendees of MEGAFEST receive a free copy of Gospel Today, as a part of the partnership.
In 2004, Gospel Today restructured it's advisory board to include key Christian leaders around the country. The new leaders consist of major pastors and organization leaders.
