The core group targeted with VOX magazine are active Christians, aged 25-50 from a wide cross section of denominational and church backgrounds.  

Through inclusive language and content, we aim for our magazine to be readable by those who are interested in issues of faith or exploring Christianity.

The content is designed to meet the felt needs and address contemporary issues for a wide cross section of Christians in Ireland.

Our content elements are not be limited by a single denomination or doctrinal bias but will enable Christians to engage with a wide range of issues by stimulating respectful and informed debate with reasoned alternatives.

We use inclusive language (avoiding jargon and Christian-ese). Our aim is to ensure all content is forward-looking (reflecting contemporary Christian thinking, wrestling with 21st Century issues and following current and future trends).
