Among the many congratulations CHRISTIAN STANDARD has received in this anniversary year, I”ll choose just one to share with you here. We really appreciated hearing from Dave Stone, 2016 NACC president and senior pastor with Southeast Christian Church, Louisville, Kentucky:

CHRISTIAN STANDARD has always been biblical and practical, willing to tackle the tough topics with both grace and truth. Every issue encourages my heart, feeds my soul, and reminds me of my roots.

There”s nothing quite like having CHRISTIAN STANDARD in your hand””either in print or on your device. Now, in celebration of our 150th anniversary, we”re making it possible for you to receive CHRISTIAN STANDARD at a remarkable price. We look forward to serving you through each month”s edition very soon.
