Advertising space in the Assemblies Outreach magazine is used to help inform readers about the work of Christian Brethren ministries in NSW, and about businesses and events which may be of interest to the readers.  Income derived from the sale of advertising space helps fund the cost of the magazine's production. Typically, about 10% of the magazine's pages have contained paid advertising, but it's an aim to increase this to an average of 15% in 2008 and beyond.

The usual print run is 600 copies but not all these are covered by paid subscriptions. Full-time workers amongst the Christian Brethren receive a free copy free and other free copies are distributed from time to time to increase awareness of the magazine amongst the NSW Assemblies. It can be said that the number of readers is considerably greater than 600 (because potentially a whole family reads one magazine) and that the majority of readers are involved with a Christian Brethren assembly or an associated ministry in NSW.

Sometimes larger print runs are undertaken for wider distribution of supplements such as the 12 page Commended NSW Home Workers Supplement in the June 2007 issue and the 16 page CBCS Annual Report with the December 2007 issue. In these cases the distribution was approximately 1200 and 1400 copies respectively.

There are six issues of the magazine each calendar year. The aim is to publish around the middle of the months – February, April, June, August, October and December. Each magazine has at least 32 pages (A5 size) – all of which are printed in full colour on high quality paper.

Also, from the February 2008 issue, subscribers will have an option to purchase a PDF version of the magazine. This will be emailed, to those who take up this option, on the day the printed magazines are mailed through Australia Post. Advertisers should note that any email or web page addresses included in their advert will be 'live' in the PDF version, enabling direct 'click-through' to those destinations on the Internet.
