SB Staff Meeting 2026
Last Tuesday, the annual Standard Bearer meeting was held at the Protestant Reformed Theological Seminary.
Once annually, the editors and writers of the SB meet to decide on topics, rubrics, and writers for the upcoming volume year. With as many writers and editors in attendance as possible (including virtually, for those long distance writers), the SB staff makes use of this annual meeting to fellowship with fellow contributors and to make decisions on any weighty matters related to the content and direction of the publication. Those in attendance also enjoy a delicious meal provided by the RFPA, the publisher of the SB.

What is the Standard Bearer?
The SB is a publication that’s been in print since 1924. This Reformed magazine has boldly and unashamedly testified to the faith of the Protestant Reformation for nearly a century. This magazine was the first of the RFPA’s long-term publications, and today has thousands of subscribers worldwide.
The magazine traces its history back to the early 1920s “common grace” controversy between the Christian Reformed synod and a number of pastors, including Rev. Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965). Shortly before these pastors left the CRC to form a new denomination, the Protestant Reformed Christian (PRC) churches, they started a publication called the Standard Bearer, which served as a literary outlet for their views on common vs. particular grace. Hoeksema served as editor of the magazine for many years. Learn more about this history from such RFPA publications as Sin and Grace (2003) and The Rock Whence We Are Hewn (2015).
