FAQs

Regular Baptist Press is the publishing ministry of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC). RBP was founded to produce distinctively Baptist Sunday School curriculum based on the entire “counsel of God.” Biblical integrity and doctrinal soundness have remained our hallmarks since 1952. Today a growing number of churches rely on RBP for Sunday School curriculum, ministry training, children’s ministry programs, Bible studies, books, and other resources that encourage maturity in Christ.

For a detailed history of RBP and the GARBC, read Quest for Faithfulness or other Baptist interest titles.

Our doctrinal statement is available on our website.

Items from other publishers may not fully agree with the RBP doctrinal statement. The inclusion of other publishers’ materials in RBP’s product offerings does not imply an official endorsement of any Non-Regular Baptist authors, personalities, or organizations.

We never make our RBP customer list or other personal information about our customers available to any publishers or ministries that are not part of the Regular Baptist Ministries family. At times, we may share personal information about our customers to sister ministries of the GARBC. As an example, after a disaster occurs in a particular locale, we may provide a list of RBP customers to Generate (our sister ministry) so they can reach out to offer disaster relief assistance. We may provide data to vendors (e.g., email service provider) who utilize the data to provide RBP with a service. If you are from Canada and you provide your personal information to us, we may pass along your information to our distributor (i.e., RBP Canada) for purposes of follow-up.

You will find our Copyright statement HERE.

You may copy anything that says on it “reproducible for classroom use only.” This means what it says: you may make the copies you need for your classroom. You may not make copies for another church.

In addition, we make some materials downloadable from our website. These materials may only be copied if they say “reproducible for classroom use only.”

According to Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI ), “the CCLI® Copyright License is the most comprehensive, convenient, and cost-effective means of copyright clearance available for songs used in congregational singing.” A CCLI license covers music, it does not provide a license for the copying of church educational materials.

Regular Baptist Press is not a publishing partner of CCLI.  This means that song copyrights held by RBP are not covered by the CCLI Copyright License.

Want to know if a particular song is covered? Use CCLI’s Song Search to find out.
For more information about CCLI licensing, view the CCLI website.

Copying without permission is illegal. You will find our copyright statement HERE.

1. We try to keep the price of our materials as affordable as possible. In order to continue to fund the ministry of Regular Baptist Press and the development of new products, we have to sell materials.
2. All RBP products are protected by US copyright law. They cannot be reproduced in any form, including electronic retrieval, without permission from the publisher.
3. Not only is copying illegal, but it also compromises the quality of the product. Most of the time, copies are made in black and white. All of our student materials are in color. What does it say to the student if he or she is handed a black and white copy?
4. Some departments have stickers that go with the student pages. Students have to do without these if copies are made.

Sometimes a church will call in week 11 or 12 of a quarter and request permission to copy because a new student or two have joined a class. In such situations, we almost always grant permission. But you must call first.

Most of these numbers can be entered on the carrier’s Web site to determine more exactly where your order is and when it will arrive.

• Choosing not to follow these guidelines may significantly delay RBP issuing credit to your account.
• Any returns not following the procedure outlined in this document will be credited at 45% of the price paid.
• Requests for credit may be denied. If you request the product be returned to you, you are responsible for the return postage—which will be billed to your account.
• Any return received without a valid RA reference number printed outside the package may be refused and returned to you without credit at your expense.

If you purchased your materials through Regular Baptist Press, your purchases fall under RBP’s return policy. Deadlines for returns are listed in the policy.

If you purchased your materials through a retailer or distributor, please contact them directly.

Please view our return policy for complete details. Any returnable materials must be unmarked and in salable condition. No returns will be accepted without prior authorization.

There are two ways to obtain an RA reference number:

1. Contact Customer Service directly at 800-727-4440.
2. Use our downloadable form and submit your request via email or fax.

You need to know your invoice number(s), item or ISBN number(s) (your invoice or pick list has these numbers), and quantities to be returned. Please take a few moments to gather this information prior to requesting your RA reference number.

To prevent delay, please do not request the same RA multiple times or through various channels. One (1) RA reference number per invoice.

An RA reference number is a required authorized number provided by RBP that links directly to your account to ensure credit is promptly issued. When you obtain this RA reference number, your return is preapproved for credit before we receive the product. This reference number is linked to your account and is set up to include the discounts at which the product was purchased and to confirm that the product is returnable. With a preapproved return, issuing credit to your account is faster, more efficient, and more accurate.

To simplify and expedite the accurate processing of your returns and ensure that you promptly receive the credit due, RBP requires that a Return Authorization (RA) reference number be assigned to all products prior to their return to RBP for credit.

The RA number is mandatory. Not all materials are returnable, and there are limits on how many items may be returned and how long you have to return them. You will not receive full credit for returned items that do not follow the return policy.

You will not receive any credit for those items.

Deadlines are listed in our return policy.

• Returns that follow these established guidelines will be processed within two to four (2–4) weeks from the date received at RBP.
• Our goal is to process every return as quickly as possible; however, slight delays may happen during heavy volume and peak periods.
• Once your return has been processed, RBP will mail you a copy of your credit memo.
• It is important that you do not take deductions on future payments to RBP until you have received your credit memo. Taking deductions from your account before credit is issued may cause you to incur late charges on outstanding balances.

All returns must be sent to:
RBP Returns
3001 Broadsmore Drive
Algonquin, IL 60102

Please remember that packages should be securely wrapped within a box or jet bag using packing materials so they are not damaged in transit. The return authorization number must be displayed on the outside of the package, as well as printed on a copy of the original invoice or packing slip inside the package.

We understand the value of our past VBS programs and the strong Biblical content they offer. While we can’t carry all past programs due to inventory constraints, you can check our web store to see what’s currently available.

A VBS logo print license allows you to print the logo at a professional printer. After purchase, you’ll receive a high-resolution PDF file. This license is valid for the purchasing church/ministry/individual and expires 30 days after purchase. It is non-transferable and allows two downloads—one for the church and one for the printer.

For digital displays or standard printer use, please use the logo from rbpVBS.org or the VBS Resources CD Set or Download.

Any other source for VBS logos are not valid for professional printing—such as JPG images from the Resource CD. This license is meant for churches, ministries, and individual use only. This product is not available for retail use.

No, we no longer sell transparencies. We do, however, offer ways to display song lyrics, such as worship videos, PowerPoint presentations, and a songbook. Check the kit contents and music section of the current theme(s) for available products.
