Faith-based media isn’t standing still. In Touch+, the broadcast and streaming arm of In Touch Ministries, is taking its message to more households across the U.S. through a new partnership with Bridge Media Network. The move brings Dr. Charles Stanley’s teachings—and a wider slate of ministry-focused content—to more than 60 broadcast markets nationwide, strengthening the brand’s reach in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
Bridge Media Network is known for serving markets of all sizes, stretching from New York City to Juneau, Alaska. By integrating In Touch+ content, the network becomes a major distribution lane for faith-driven programming at a time when audiences are increasingly looking for trusted, values-aligned media sources.
Alongside Dr. Stanley’s teachings, Bridge will feature additional ministry partners and original faith-centered content—a strategy designed to deliver consistent, “faith-safe” programming to viewers who want the spiritual equivalent of must-see TV. The expansion is being guided by Apex Media, a veteran ministry media group with more than three decades of experience developing and distributing faith content across broadcast, satellite, and digital channels.
Strengthening a Multi-Platform Faith Network
“For over 50 years, In Touch Ministries has been leading people into their growing relationship with Jesus Christ,” said Carrie Hartunian Smith, CEO of Apex Media Partners. Through this new partnership, she says, In Touch+ will reach “millions of new households and families who are looking to grow in their faith.”
The network’s footprint already spans broadcast, streaming, and satellite—platforms like DIRECTV, AT&T U-verse, Amazon Prime, and others. The Bridge partnership adds another layer of scale and visibility for a ministry ecosystem that has continued to evolve following Dr. Stanley’s long legacy.
More Languages, More Markets, More Access
In Touch+ isn’t only expanding domestically. The ministry’s content is offered in multiple languages worldwide, reflecting its broader mission: delivering accessible biblical teaching that supports long-term spiritual growth.
The partnership with Bridge Media Network accelerates that mission, providing a stable, broad-reaching distribution system for U.S. viewers while reinforcing In Touch+ as one of the most widely available faith-based media brands across linear and digital channels.
As streaming audiences diversify and regional broadcast stations seek reliable programming, In Touch+ is positioning itself as the go-to provider of faith-safe content—rooted in Dr. Stanley’s teachings and built for modern viewing habits.
