Your publishing house is in the position to significantly impact the ministries of your denomination and the larger Christian community. The church body you serve depends on your publishing and media work for so many things—the materials you produce enhance ministries, worship, outreach, and identity. In addition, you may be publishing resources to help people in other denominations or without a church home in their faith journey.

So how do you balance ministry and business? What issues are you facing as a denominational publisher?

Chances are some of our members are facing the same issues. But answers to these sorts of questions are only part of the benefits of PCPA membership. PCPA boasts an atmosphere which nurtures its members' staffs by encouraging the free exchange of ideas and concerns, problems and solutions, and how to best prepare for the constantly changing future.

Although the size of our member publishing houses varies considerably and some of our member companies are not affiliated with one particular denomination, we all consider sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through publishing and other media our first and foremost goal. Out of this common objective, PCPA members work together primarily as partners in ministry rather than competitors in the marketplace.

We encourage you to consider becoming an active member of PCPA today.

Membership enrollment is quite straightforward. Simply complete the application form below and email it to Executive Director Beth Lewis.

Annual dues to join PCPA are a bargain for our Publishing Company Members. And the majority of our resources throughout the year are gratis, so you won’t be nickeled and dimed with additional fees. Dues are paid on an annual basis each December for the next calendar year. The amount due is based on sales for your most recent fiscal year:
