About Group Publishing
Who We Are
Group is much more than a publisher of ministry resources for
Christian churches. Sure, we make an abundance of products for
Sunday school, VBS, children's ministry, youth ministry, and
more.
But what we really offer are experiences that grow your
relationship with Jesus. Whether it's a Bible lesson, kids' craft,
or teen mission trip, everything Group does revolves around getting
closer to God.
If there's one thing you need to know about us, it's that we're
enthusiastic about church ministry. Our team is made up of
world-renowned ministry experts who spend their everyday lives in
the trenches of real church ministry. We love this stuff, and we
want nothing more than to help you be successful in your
ministry.
What We Do
Being based at the foot of the Colorado Rocky Mountains gives us
a constant, majestic reminder of God's love and power in our lives.
We use that inspiration to create resources for ministry to women,
men, families, small groups, pastors, worship leaders, and even
administrators.
We also have a wealth of resources for those who lead ministry
volunteers (which is just about everybody). You'll find books,
curriculum, magazines, websites, DVDs, CDs, kits, events, online
training, and so much more here at Group. If your church does it,
Group can probably help. (A lot.)
Our Story
In 1974 Thom Schultz had a mustache. (More like a cop-stache.)
He also had a dream-to give church youth workers better tools to
help teens grow closer to God. So with a typewriter in a spare room
(and just a few hundred bucks in savings), he started GROUP
Magazine.
It wasn't long before Group became synonymous with youth
ministry. And it also wasn't long before Group decided to venture
into new territory: children's ministry. After introducing
innovative Sunday school and VBS programs and Children's Ministry
Magazine to the church world, Group also quickly became the leader
in what's now commonly called "kid min."
Nowadays we spend our time supporting ministry leaders in every
way we can.
