May 7, 2010Your Church Celebrates Four Awards
Our quarterly church management magazine receives four honors.
by Matt BranaughMany of you may not know this, but Your Church magazine, like many other publications at Christianity Today International, is a member of the Evangelical Press Association, "the world's largest professional organization for the evangelical periodical publishing industry," as its website reports.
Each year, the EPA honors the best work from the prior calendar year. On Thursday, we learned Your Church received four awards for work performed in 2009. In all, the EPA judged 734 entries representing 87 publications:
- Your Church magazine, along with two other publications, received Awards of Merit in the Christian Ministries publication category (Your Church's sister publication, Leadership journal, received an Award of Excellence, the top honor for the category);
In the EPA's "Higher Goals" categories:
- Marian Liautaud, fifth place, for her roundtable interview with church leaders, "Budget Bullseye";
- Lee Dean, fourth place, for his church communications article, "Bringing Joy to the World";
- David Harbaugh, fifth place, for his cartoon, "Church Collateral," which you can see here:

We're humbled by the recognition, and thankful, too. We pray this work honors the Lord and serves church leaders like you well.
Matt Branaugh is director of editorial for Christianity Today International's church management publications and resources. His current duties include editing Your Church magazine and TheYourChurchBlog.com, as well as leading a fantastic editorial team.
