About Us
Rooted In Service, Guided By Faith
Publishing That Serves The Church
We believe publishing is a ministry in itself. From the very beginning, our work has been shaped by a calling to support pastors, congregations, and faith communities with resources that truly matter. Since 1970, we have dedicated ourselves to creating materials that speak to the heart of worship and the realities of ministry life. Every book, sermon resource, and worship tool we publish is created with care, prayer, and a deep respect for the sacred responsibility entrusted to us. We do not see ourselves simply as publishers. We see ourselves as partners walking alongside those who serve.
A Legacy Of Leadership In Worship Resources
Experience That Continues To Matter
We are proud to be among the first publishers in the United States to actively utilize the Revised Common Lectionary in preaching and worship resources. This early commitment was rooted in a desire to help pastors prepare worship that is both theologically grounded and deeply connected to the broader church calendar. Our first publication, Children Sermon Service, set the tone for everything that followed. It reflected our belief that worship resources should be practical, accessible, and meaningful for congregations of all ages. Over the decades, that belief has only grown stronger as we continue to serve churches navigating an ever-changing world.
Written By Pastors, Trusted By Congregations
Field Tested And Faith Focused
Our resources are written by pastors for pastors because we understand the demands of ministry firsthand. Every sermon, prayer, and worship aid we publish is field tested in real congregations before it reaches yours. This ensures that what we offer is not theoretical or disconnected but grounded in lived ministry experience. We know the pressure of weekly preparation and the desire to speak words that resonate with people in the pew. That is why clarity, relevance, and theological integrity guide every decision we make. Our goal is to lighten the load for pastors while strengthening the impact of their message.
A Global Community Of Faithful Voices
Diverse Perspectives United By Purpose
We are honored to collaborate with theological scholars and pastors from a wide range of mainline Protestant traditions across the United States and other English speaking countries around the world. This diversity of voices enriches our publishing library and ensures our resources reflect the breadth of Christian thought while remaining accessible and practical. Each contributor brings unique insight shaped by their ministry context, yet all share a common commitment to serving the church faithfully. Through this global collaboration, we are able to publish resources that speak to congregations everywhere while honoring the traditions that unite us.
Resources For Every Season Of Ministry
Supporting Pastors Beyond Sunday
While our lectionary publishing program remains central to who we are, our offerings extend far beyond sermons alone. We publish a wide variety of worship and ministry resources including dramas, monologues, dialogue sermons, youth and family programs, stewardship materials, bible studies, children’s sermons, wedding and funeral services, and worship planning books. These resources are designed to support pastors through the many responsibilities they carry each week. Whether preparing for a special service, engaging families, or guiding a congregation through important life moments, we are here to help pastors serve with confidence and care.
A Heart For The Busy Pastor
Practical Tools With Lasting Impact
We understand that ministry is both deeply rewarding and deeply demanding. Our mission is to provide tools that respect a pastor’s time while honoring their calling. Every resource we create is intended to be immediately useful, thoughtfully written, and spiritually grounded. We want pastors to spend less time searching for materials and more time connecting with their congregations. When our resources help a pastor preach with confidence, plan worship with clarity, or reach a family with compassion, we know we are fulfilling our purpose.
Looking Ahead With Gratitude And Hope
Continuing A Mission Of Service
As we look to the future, we remain grounded in gratitude for the generations of pastors, authors, and congregations who have trusted us over the years. Our commitment to faith, quality, and service continues to guide everything we do. We believe the church deserves resources created with care, wisdom, and integrity. It is an honor to play a small part in the work God is doing through the written word, and we remain dedicated to serving that mission for many years to come.
