An Overview of the Products Offered
by Union Gospel Press
The Incorporated Trustees of the Gospel Worker Society is a nonprofit organization that
publishes nondenominational, fundamental Christian literature. The first seed of this
endeavor was planted in 1895 under the direction of the Reverend William Brunner
Musselman, a Mennonite preacher from Pennsylvania, who then was presiding elder of his
Conference.
Since its early beginnings, Union Gospel Press has expanded both its facilities and its
materials. It is widely known that we still publish the finest in Bible-based Sunday school
materials and teaching aids.
All the Sunday school publications are written by respected
evangelical Christian writers. The theological editors are seminary
and Bible college graduates and are thoroughly trained in sound,
fundamental Bible doctrine.
"Christian Life Series" literature, based on a six-year cycle of
Sunday school lessons, is graded for all ages from beginner to
adult. All teaching materials in our Sunday school curriculum are
correlated so that the whole family can discuss and study each
week's lesson together. This system gives families the opportunity
for excellent daily family devotions.
Union Gospel Press publications offer indispensable helps for the
Sunday school teacher. We have authoritative lesson expositions,
reliable teaching suggestions, and extensive supplementary
materials. We always keep in mind the needs and the interests of
those who use the "Christian Life Series." We make sure each of
our writers is aware of the special requirements of each age level.
We offer creative handwork, easy-to-understand stories based on
the Bible lessons, instructive visual aids, and interesting take-
home papers with stories and puzzles that help stimulate
beginners, primaries, and juniors to study God's Word.
Intermediates and senior high youths are challenged by lesson materials, study questions,
activity booklets, and take-home papers with stories and devotional articles that help these
young readers deal with problems. They are stimulated to obey biblical principles.
Young people and adults find a wealth of in-depth Bible study materials that will help them
as they meet the challenges of going to college, entering careers, getting married, and
establishing homes.
Union Gospel Press offers a wide variety of Christ-centered literature.
Our teacher and class quarterlies are supplemented with flannelgraph
materials, a Bible picture chart, Bible picture cards, and publications
that contain correlated activities and handwork based on the lessons.
The "Christian Life Series" also offers graded take-home papers that
are brightly illustrated and that bring the teachings of the Scriptures
into the home through sound Christian articles and stories. In
addition, our Sunday school curriculum includes a special quarterly
for Sunday school superintendents and one for people who cannot
attend Sunday school regularly.
Union Gospel Press publications stress the virgin birth of Christ, His blood atonement, and
His bodily resurrection. We quote only from the King James Version of the Bible, and,
because our material reaches almost all denominations, we do not emphasize
denominational distinctives.
Union Gospel Press material does not contain advertisements, which gives us space for
articles and editorials that offer hints, instructions, and guidance on how to handle various
situations in the Sunday school classes and departments. With the Lord's blessing on our
ministry, The Incorporated Trustees of the Gospel Worker Society are still able to offer
Union Gospel Press material at low, affordable prices.
The Incorporated Trustees of the Gospel Worker Society
maintains high standards of excellence not only in the
contents of our publications but also in our relationship
with our customers. Our motive is to offer our readers top-
quality literature by using the most modern and efficient
production and order processing methods.
We have been slowly upgrading our equipment, and in the
future we will continue to do so. We realize that we need to depend on the Lord to guide
customers to us. We take the responsibility of handling financial matters very seriously so
that it will be done in a way that will please the Lord. Everything that we have belongs to
Him, and we want to use it for His Name's honor and glory.
The Incorporated Trustees of the Gospel Worker Society agree that we must depend on the
Lord's guidance as we make plans for improvements and modernization techniques that will
affect the activities of the corporation in the future.
The largest change that is projected for the future will take place in the current Gospel
Worker Society Home Building. Even now, with ever-expanding needs in the Union Gospel
Press building, changes are being made in the Home Building to prepare for the time when
we will need to use more of the building to accommodate the publishing needs of the
bulging Press building.
The missionary ladies, who at one time did all the work in Union Gospel Press, have always
had living quarters in the Gospel Worker Society Home Building. Most of the ladies are
now with the Lord, and the few who still live in the building are either retired or still active
in the ministry.
Portions of the building that are not now being used as living quarters are being used for
Union Gospel Press executive offices, the payroll department, accounts payable, and storage
for Union Gospel Press publication files. Eventually the building will be used totally for
Union Gospel Press publishing activities.
We also are continually reviewing new ways to improve our Sunday school publications
without compromising the biblical, moral, and ethical standards of those who founded this
ministry. Union Gospel Press materials have a unique and recognizable appearance. We
want to maintain that appearance so that our readers will identify the uniqueness with the
high quality of the biblically oriented lesson study material.
Union Gospel Press art requirements are conservative. We request our artists to portray
women and girls in dresses or blouses with short or long sleeves, knee-length or longer
skirts, and no jewelry except watches or wedding rings. Artists are asked to depict men in
sport, casual, or dress shirts and never in shorts.
Our policy is to present adults and children in light of biblical admonitions that encourage
acceptably modest styles without being critical of any current styles that might be
acceptable to our readers.
In response to a number of inquiries, we enlarged the size of the type that is in our adult
publications. We will continue to encourage our readers to offer suggestions, and we always
want to be mindful of improvements that are possible for us to make. If a reader's suggestion
is too costly or if it is not efficient or possible for us to attempt with our equipment, we
cannot follow through with that suggestion. Each suggestion, however, is carefully
considered. We always are eager to offer our readers the most comprehensive and
authoritative materials.
As you can see, Union Gospel Press retains its fine traditions of yesterday, publishes the
best Christian literature available today, and continues to look for better ways to serve you
tomorrow.
