PC(USA)
The Presbyterian Publishing Corporation (PPC) is a financially self-sustaining agency of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), governed by a board of directors. In addition to publishing books and resources, PPC provides a variety of benevolence programs as a way of contributing to the larger mission and ministry of the PC(USA). PPC, in partnership with the Office of the General Assembly and GAC program areas, sends complimentary "care packages" to newly ordained ministers of the Word and Sacrament, new church developments, and churches suffering the effects of natural disasters. PPC works closely with the Worldwide Ministries Division to supply seminaries in second-and-third-world countries with books.
PPC works with GAC program areas to ensure that its books and resources are available at major PC(USA) events such as the General Assembly, APCE, the Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian Women, the Presbyterian Youth Triennium, evangelism and church development conferences, and a host of other Presbyterian gatherings.
In addition to it's toll-free number and website, PPC's books and resources can also be ordered from the Presbyterian Marketplace website. See how PPC's resources are being used for ministry in the PC(USA) by visiting the Office of Theology and Worship web site and the Office of Family and Single Adult Ministries Web site.

Cokesbury
In 1995 Cokesbury and PPC established a partnership in ministry to serve the needs of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), the broader ecumenical church and the general public with resources that undergird Christian growth and ministry. Cokesbury is the retail division of The United Methodist Publishing House, making this a special example in ecumenical cooperation. Cokesbury provides for effective retail distribution of Westminster John Knox Press and Geneva Press books to the church, and PPC endorses Cokesbury as their retail partner to the PC(USA).
