About Herald and Banner Bookstore and Press

Our Beliefs

We believe:

Picture of H&B editor, Mark Avery
  1. In one God -- the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  2. That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
  3. That man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
  4. That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
  5. That the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified, regenerated, and saved from the dominion of sin.
  6. That believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
  7. That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
  8. That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgement will take place.

Mission Statement

The Herald and Banner Press and Bookstore is dedicated to the spreading of God's Holy Word throughout the world and to the lifting up of the name of Jesus Christ to those who come within our reach.
