Brethren Missionary Herald Company
The Brethren Missionary Herald Company, also known as BMH Books, began in 1940 and is the publishing company serving the 1300 churches and approximately 3/4 of a million persons in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches (FGBC). Its main activities are stated to be:
- the publication of a denominational news publication,
- the supplying of church resources through retail outlets, which are all now either sold or closed,
- the publishing of books, often in 13-chapter formats and used widely by Grace Brethren churches as adult Sunday School curriculum..
The organization temporarily ceased its book publishing functions in the late 1990s. The publishing function was reborn under a new board with Pastor Dan Thornton as Chairman. BMH is run by its Executive Director Terry White and a new board elected in 2006. Major networking takes place by means of a bi-monthly publication FGBC World and the official BMH Blog.
