CBA Membership:

Why We Do What We Do
Many Places, One Purpose

For nearly 60 years, CBA's membership has faithfully served the nation and the world, representing Christian retailers in all 50 states, and partnering with Christian retailers and suppliers around the world.

From small towns to large metropolitan areas, you will find CBA members in virtually every type of retail environment.

And our member stores share with CBA a common goal -- to succeed in the ministry of Christian retail, working together to see lives transformed by God through the power of Christian products sold through the unique and caring environment of Christian stores!

CBA membership also connects Christian retailers of every kind with suppliers of every type of Christian product imaginable, and with many other professionals who have a desire to share in the successful ministry of Christian stores, such as authors, consultants, literary agents, musicians, and sales representatives.

There are many benefits outlined in the links on this page. When we are asked the question, "Why should I be a member?", often we answer with a series of our own questions, because there are many reasons why members choose to join CBA. Those reasons are often unique to their situation and to what matters most to them and this is why CBA offers so very much to each and every member.
