What is the Associated Church
Press?
The oldest religious
interdenominational press
association in North America, the
Associated Church Press, founded in
1916, is a community of
communication professionals brought
together by faithfulness to their
craft and by a common task of
reflecting, describing, and
supporting the life of faith and the
Christian community.
Among our purposes are:
(1) To provide mutual support and
encouragement, fostered by personal
and professional relationships;
(2) To promote higher standards of
communication through professional
growth opportunities and recognition
of excellence;
(3) To join in interfaith and
public discourse with those who seek
to build a more just society for all
God’s people.
Nearly 200 publications, websites,
news services, and individuals are
ACP members, representing a combined
circulation of several million.
Publication Members from the U.S.,
Canada, and English-speaking
communities abroad make up most of
ACP’s membership and represent the
full diversity of Christian belief
and practice—from A.M.E., Baptist,
and Catholic to Lutheran, Mennonite,
and Orthodox, with everything in
between including independent and
ecumenical publishers. ACP’s
Individual Members are writers,
marketers, publishers, web
designers, and editors—freelancers,
students, teachers, and retirees.
Affiliate Members are those whose
business and/or service
purposes—design firms, marketing
consultants, PR divisions—are in
general consonance with those of the
association.
