The Church Herald: Every Household Subscription Plan

Information and Resources Regarding the Every Household Plan and Other Subscription Options

The every household subscription plan is a tool to help churches provide the Church Herald to all of their members. For just $15 per household annually the magazine provides:

Information on the work of the Reformed Church
Insight into the work of the global church
Spiritual enrichment for Christians of all spiritual ages
Encouragement for people to use their gifts
A place where we can gather as a community to share our joys and sorrows, our victories and our concerns.

To participate in the plan and get this valuable resource into the hands of your members, we ask for at least 80% participation of your congregation. Magazines can be delivered directly to individual households (our preferred method because it improves readership) or delivered bulk to your church.

There are many creative ways to include this in your church's budget. Click here to see just a few ideas that we have received from churches. Participation in the plan requires that a single invoice be sent to the church for the entire group; there is a significant cost saving to us when we don't track and invoice individual subscribers. However your church chooses to pay for the plan is entirely up to you. Changes to your member list (additions, deletions, address corrections) can be made at any time, and will be pro-rated appropriately.

If you are interested in signing up for the every household plan, or would like more information, please contact us at herald@rca.org or by calling (616) 698-7071, extension 222.
