Company Overview
Welcome to Augsburg Fortress, the Publishing House of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As the ministry of publishing for the ELCA, we are dedicated to serving you with top quality Christian materials that communicate the Gospel, enhance faith, and enrich the life of the Church and the communities it serves. In turn, each purchase you make from us helps us to support your ministry. Unlike other publishers and church supply companies, Augsburg Fortress reinvests all profits made into the development of new quality ministry resources for the church. The result — a virtuous circle that encompasses both the needs of your church and the ability for Augsburg Fortress to provide you with resources to meet those needs.
 

Additional divisions at Augsburg Fortress include:

sparkhouse: sparking new life in Christian community

At sparkhouse, we're creating a whole new class of faith formation resources created for today's Christians. We meet people where they are: using technology, language, and active learning concepts that match our 21st-century lifestyles. Every day we strive to make creativity, collaboration, and even humor synonymous with thought-provoking, Bible-based learning.


Fortress Press: Scholarship that matters
For over 50 years, Fortress Press has been a pioneer in religious scholarship. Our commitment to publishing timely, relevant, and transformative books in biblical studies, theology, and Christian history has led to a global reputation. Fortress Press publishes in three main areas; education, academic, and reference. A popular theology publishing program is also in the works.

Augsburg Fortress recently received Star Tribune's "Top Workplaces in Minnesota" award for 2015, and the "Wellness by Design + Green" award from Hennepin County.
