Magazine profile<\/h2>\n

You’re invited to reach the readers of Messenger<\/em> magazine via your advertisements.<\/p>\n

The 32-page color magazine is filled with features, opinion, Bible studies, news, and other articles about Christ at work through the church. Messenger<\/em> goes out to households and congregations 10 times a year.<\/p>\n

Advertisements should be a good fit for our readership and consistent with the values of the Church of the Brethren, a Christian denomination with Anabaptist-Pietist roots. The church, which is more than 300 years old, is known for its commitment to peacemaking, service, discipleship, and simple living. <\/p>\n

Messenger <\/em>reaches about 4,700 subscribers through print and digital editions.  The award-winning magazine celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2026.<\/p>\n
