Adventist Book Centers


There are a number of media ministries associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. These come in print, radio and television forms and reach countries all around the globe. The Adventist church has a long history of media-based communication, having grown out of the Millerite movement of the 1840s which heavily used the print media. Some of the media ministries are directly funded by the church, while others are self-supporting organizations that rely on donations.

All the main Adventist broadcast ministries have engaged in worldwide outreach via numerous crusades and rallies. Worldwide outreach is also conducted by Adventist World Radio mostly via shortwave radio transmissions, but also via AM, FM, satellite, Internet, including social media platforms, and direct-to-home satellite radio transmissions. Broadcasting is currently done from 10 transmitter sites in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Adventists are prolific publishers. They operate numerous publishing houses around the world, with the two main ones in North America being Review and Herald and Pacific Press.

Many Adventist magazines are published around the world.

The Voice of Prophecy was founded in 1929 by H.M.S. Richards, Sr. on a single radio station in Los Angeles, but has since spread to stations throughout the nation and has recently begun television and video production. Richards' son, H.M.S. Richards, Jr., succeeded him in the late 1970s, and today is hosted by Pastor Shawn Boonstra.

Quiet Hour Ministries (formerly The Quiet Hour) was founded in 1937 by J.L. Tucker as a radio program on station KEX in Portland, Oregon. Succeeding members of the Tucker family served as president/speaker of the ministry until 2014 when Randy Bates became president and CEO. The organization first expanded into television in 1949 in San Francisco. Several different television programs followed. The current television program is a reality series called Missions Today. Radio program production ceased in 2005 and the ministry currently focuses on international evangelism and mission projects.
