Who is RBP?

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.

Where can I find your doctrinal statement? 

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.

Do you sell customer information?

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 Regular Baptist Builder’s Club (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.

Please review our privacy policy for more information.

Do you offer materials in Spanish or other languages?

Copyrights

Can we copy RBP materials?

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.”

What if I have a CCLI license?

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 License Manual.

Why can’t I buy one student book and copy it for my class?

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.

Where can I find an order form?

Order forms are included in each catalog. You can also download an order blank.

Where can I view my order history?

You may review your order history on your RBPstore.org profile. You will need your username and password to access this information. If you do not have an online profile, you will need to set up a profile up with our Customer Service department so that it is tied to your account.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Orders placed after 11:30 a.m. CST are not processed until the next business day. Orders will be shipped within three business days of being processed. This does not include time for shipping.

How do I check on the status of an order? (ORDER TRACKING)

For UPS and several other carriers, tracking number(s) may be available. Once a tracking number has been generated, you can find the number(s) on your RBPstore.org profile or by contacting RBP’s Customer Service Department. Additionally, a tracking number may have been emailed to you.

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.

NOTE: If your UPS tracking status is “Order Processed: Ready for UPS,” this means that a shipping label has been created for your order, but it has not yet left the warehouse. This does not indicate an error in the order and does not require a call to customer service.

How do I locate the tracking number on my RBPstore.org profile?

To find the number on your profile:

  1. Navigate to https://cart.rbpstore.org/Profile and sign in (if necessary).
  2. Scroll down to the Order History section and select the “details” button.
  3. A button for the tracking number will be at the bottom of the order information.
May I sign up to receive curriculum orders automatically?

No, not at the present time. To help customers, we automatically send quarterly email order reminders to accounts that have purchased curriculum. It’s important to note that this means you must have an email connected to your account.

Subscribe here to make sure you receive the quarterly reminder.

If you have ever unsubscribed from RBP emails, you may not receive an email unless you subscribe here.

Returns

Returns

What if I don’t follow the return guidelines?

RBP seeks to efficiently partner with you in your business and ministry needs.

  • 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.

If the product is damaged or defective when shipped to you, please contact Customer Service immediately at 800.727.4440. The Customer Service representative handling the call may issue credit without having the physical product returned or may send you a replacement.

What is your return policy?

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.

May I return unused materials?

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.

How do I get a return authorization (RA) number?

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.

What is a return authorization?

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.

Why do I need a return authorization?

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.

What if I return materials after the deadline?

You will not receive any credit for those items.

Deadlines are listed in our return policy.

How soon should I expect credit to my account?
  • 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.
I have a return authorization. Where am I shipping the return?

All returns must be sent to:
RBP Returns
680 Industrial Dr #1
Cary, IL 60013

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.

VBS

VBS

Can I purchase products from your old VBS programs?

RBP began producing quality evangelistic VBS programs in 1972. Since then, we’ve matured and made improvements along the way.  One thing that hasn’t changed is our strong stand for solid Biblical content, so we understand why you’d be interested in past VBS programs. Unfortunately, we are not able to carry all of our past programs due to inventory constraints.

Check our web store to see what’s currently available.

What versions of the Bible does RBP use for VBS?

The King James Version (KJV) and the New King James Version (NKJV) are available for all of our Vacation Bible School curriculum.

Can I access the videos in MP4 format as well as playing the videos in a standard DVD player?

Yes, the videos on the worship DVD can be accessed in two ways. (1) It can be used in a DVD player and the videos played through the menus. (2) The DVD can also be loaded into a disk drive that is connected to a computer. The MP4 videos will appear under the DVD drive tab. If you plan to stream any songs, please refer to the streaming license FAQ.

When do I need to purchase a print license for the VBS logo?
What does purchasing a VBS streaming license allow me to do?

The streaming license grants the purchasing ministry temporary permission to livestream, stream, or transmit the following materials, from the VBS theme that is named is the license:

  • all videos of RBP-owned or public domain songs from the worship DVD,
  • all recordings of RBP-owned or public domain songs from the music CDs, and
  • all recordings from the puppet scripts CD.

This license is valid one year from date of purchase, but the above-listed content must be removed within 30 days of the date of upload. For full terms and conditions, please refer to the license terms on the Samples & Images tab at RBPstore.org.

I have a download code from a past RBP VBS theme. Will it still work?

While all VBS download codes should be used in the year that there were issued, unused codes may still be available for download at rbpVBS.org/download.

Does RBP have an on-line event management solution?

While RBP does not have any proprietary online event management solutions, there are a number of free event management tools online. While we don’t officially recommend any particular tool, we have successfully utilized ticketleap.com in the past. They offer free registration tools for free events.

Where can I download clip art elements from the logo?
What happens to the adult course after VBS?

Each year, RBP publishes a 5-lesson evangelistic Bible study for adults that coincides the VBS theme. While the product is recommended for use in conjunction with that year’s VBS program, it can also be used as a standalone evangelistic Bible study outside of VBS.

RBP does not reprint these adult studies, but we do print enough copies to exceed our anticipated need for VBS. If stock remains after the VBS season, we may continue to offer them as evangelistic Bible studies.

Independent of commercial availability, permissions are not granted to reproduce any of the adult VBS studies.

Can I buy transparencies for VBS songs?

RBP continues to produce 10 songs a year for each new VBS theme, but as of VBS 2022, we no longer sell transparencies.

As technology progresses, we update our products to provide engaging ways to display song lyrics during VBS. In 2019, we added lyric videos, and then motion videos in 2020. These Worship DVDs provide an updated way to present the songs through various compatible mediums.

Additionally, we produce PowerPoint presentations and a songbook. View the kit contents and music section of the current themes for available products.
