The Gospel Coalition ( TGC ) is a network of evangelical and Reformed churches.
History
It was founded in 2005 by theologian D. A. Carson and pastor Tim Keller . [1] [2] TGC describe their mission as being “deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures.” [3] The Gospel Coalition, Carson wrote in 2018, is “not a monolith; we are a coalition. What holds us together is our shared commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.” [4] As TGC describes itself in a promotional video, “We are not united by culture, nationality, or politics, but by the cross of Jesus Christ.” [5] In the resources it produces, TGC seeks to apply Scripture and gospel-centered approaches to contemporary culture, current events, and issues in everyday life. TGC regularly produces articles, videos, podcasts, and events.
In 2020, Julius Kim was appointed TGC president. [6] In 2021, Baptist Pastor Juan Sánchez, of Austin , Texas , became board chairman. [7]
Council
The leadership of The Gospel Coalition includes a group of 40+ active and emeritus members—mostly pastors—who form a Council, “the primary stakeholders who provide leadership and vision for the work of The Gospel Coalition.” [8] [9] A smaller group of representatives chosen by the Council makes up the Board, which sets the direction and provides oversight for TGC's president and staff.
Previous Council members include Mark Driscoll , who left in March 2012 as "part of a major reorganization of his priorities". [10] In March 2014, Joshua Harris stepped down "in light of the ongoing civil suit against his church", [11] and C.J. Mahaney resigned "for a variety of reasons". [11] Darrin Patrick left the Council in April 2016 as a result of disciplinary action taken by his home church. [12]
Beliefs
The denomination has an evangelical and Reformed confession of faith . [3] Members are from a broad geographic and denominational spectrum (Anglicans, Baptists, Free Church pastors, Independents, and Presbyterians). [4]
Journal
Themelios is an international peer-reviewed theological journal aimed at theological students and pastors that "expounds and defends the historic Christian faith." The journal began in 1975 and was operated by RTSF/UCCF in the UK, and it became a digital journal operated by TGC in 2008. The editorial team draws participants from across the globe as editors, essayists, and reviewers. Themelios is published three times a year online at TGC website in PDF and HTML. [13]

The original idea for TGC came about during a meeting at a Manhattan sidewalk cafe in 2001 between the co-founders, Don Carson and Tim Keller. In 2005 the pair started a Pastors' Colloquium, which formed the basis of TGC.
