Liberty Magazine

What Liberty Magazine does

Liberty Magazine is a nonprofit religious-liberty publication founded in 1906 and operated by the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The organization produces a bimonthly magazine covering church-state relations, First Amendment matters, and international religious persecution, with a stated circulation of just under 200,000. The "Liberty ®" mark is a registered trademark (ISSN 0024-2055) held by the General Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists, reflecting the publication's institutional denominational ownership and a continuous publishing history spanning more than a century.

The publication's core product is a single bimonthly magazine issued in both print and digital formats, supplemented by a digital archive of historical issues dating to 1906, a YouTube video channel, a Spanish-language edition, and an affiliated campaign resources site at religiousliberty.info. Liberty is operated by a small team (1-10 employees) led by editor Bettina Krause, with operational offices in Columbia, Maryland and a donation mailing address in Silver Spring, Maryland. Distribution is direct-to-reader through libertymagazine.org and through the Adventist Church's congregational network.

Revenue is generated through magazine subscriptions and tax-deductible donations, with both one-time and recurring donation options across frequencies ranging from weekly to annually. The publication does not publicly disclose financial figures and operates as a ministry-funded outreach initiative rather than a commercially driven enterprise.
