What is the Associated Church Press?

 

The oldest interdenominational religious press association in North America, the Associated Church Press, founded in 1916, is an international 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.     JOIN ACP
