Important News from WTSBooks.com

In early July, WTSBooks.com will move from its present location on the campus of Westminster Theological Seminary to a new, larger warehouse location.

WTSBooks.com exists to serve the Kingdom by serving both the Westminster Theological Seminary community as well as the broader church through the distribution of high quality, biblically faithful, Reformed books and resources. Over the past five years God has tremendously blessed the work of the bookstore.

In the Lord’s mercy, He has carried us and even caused us to grow - so much so that we can no longer operate in the space that is available to us. With over 40,000 customers nationwide, the Lord is extending our influence and enabling us to provide meaningful support to some great publishing projects. More and more, we are being used of God to be a pebble that can start a wave to market some great titles to the broader Church.

So, as of June 15, 2010, the physical portion of the bookstore will come to a close. We will be relocating to a new warehouse facility that will allow us to more effectively fulfill our mission while giving us the opportunity to grow and pursue some exciting new projects.

As evidenced in much of Christian publishing industry, capitalism left alone will produce more and more of what our itching ears long to hear since that is what sells and is most easy to market.

Being an alternative voice to this trend, we market books that we believe are high quality, Reformed and biblically faithful. Pursuing this ambition and serving students to the best of our ability, while not yielding a loss to the Seminary, has been a real challenge in a post-Amazon industry that operates with very little profit margin.

We continue to covet your prayer and support as we walk a knife’s edge in terms of profitability. As always, any of the small surplus we gain goes to the Seminary. By supporting WTSBooks.com you are supporting men and women training at Westminster Theological Seminary.

Below is a list of frequently asked questions concerning the details of our move. If you have any additional questions, please contact Micah Bickford at mbickford@wtsbooks.com.
