Christian Resources
Church supplies, Bibles, books, and more at Augsburg Fortress. Augsburg Fortress is the publishing house of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and is a partner with ABC Publishing, the voice of Canadian Anglicanism. ”In 2007, The Anglican Church of Canada formed a partnership with Augsburg Fortress Canada concerning the operation of the Anglican Book Centre.
“Together, Augsburg Fortress/Anglican Book Centre provides a non-profit ministry to the Church as the supplier for books and Bibles, curriculum and worship resources, church supplies and ecclesiastical arts, and more!
When congregations support Augsburg Fortress/Anglican Book Centre, revenues are reinvested into our ministry so that we can support the ministry of the Church through the creation and delivery of resources. This virtuous circle represents an important stewardship decision for congregations, clergy, and individuals.”
