VISION:
To maximize the impact of quality, life-changing Christian resources

MISSION STATEMENT:
Our mission as an evangelical Christian publisher is to develop and distribute—with integrity and excellence—trusted, biblically based resources that lead individuals to know and serve Jesus Christ.

STATEMENT OF FAITH:
Kregel is committed to the essentials of conservative, evangelical Christianity, as reflected in the following primary doctrines: 1. The verbal and plenary inspiration of the Bible as God's Word, inerrant in the original writings 2. One God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit 3. The deity of Jesus Christ; His virgin birth, substitutionary death for human sin, bodily resurrection, and personal return 4. The personality and present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and who regenerates and indwells all believers, creating one body of believers, the Church, throughout the world 5. The reality of human sin and the necessity of personal conversion and regeneration through faith in the all-sufficient, atoning work of Jesus Christ 6. The biblical call to all believers to live in obedience to the teachings of Scripture as God's holy and elect people 7. That all who hold such a common faith are one family in Christ and are to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

HISTORY:
In 1909 Louis Kregel established an early business of supplying new and used religious and theological books to individuals in the Grand Rapids area. Before Kregel Used Books closed its doors on in 2005, it housed a selection of over 275,000 used religious and theological works at 525 Eastern Avenue located in the central Grand Rapids area.

Sensing a growing need for solidly evangelical works, Kregel Publications began in 1949 to supply resources to meet the spiritual needs of evangelical readers as well as the professional needs of pastors, missionaries, teachers, and Christian leaders. In addition to reprints of classic works, new materials in the areas of Christian education and ministry, Bible commentaries and reference, contemporary issues, and devotional books are also published. A limited number of titles in the genre of biblical/historical fiction are also available. Today Kregel Publications has over 900 titles in print.

Established by veteran missionaries to Spain, Harold and Esther Kregel, Editorial Portavoz continued in its publishing program from new offices in Grand Rapids in 1982. Today it offers a wide selection of over 300 solid, evangelical titles for the spiritual growth and encouragement of Hispanic readers world-wide.

Three full-service Christian bookstores operated by Kregel Parable Christian Bookstore operate in Grandville on Chicago Dr. near Wilson Avenue SW, in Grand Rapids on the East Beltline at Three Mile NE, and in Kentwood on Kalamazoo Ave SE next to the South Beltline (M-6). Each store features a full selection of uniquely Christian products including books, Bibles, music, videos, cards, gifts and ministry resources carried in-stock everyday for one's shopping convenience.
