The Publishing Committee of the Mission and Discipleship Council oversees the financial management of the Church's award-winning magazine, Life & Work; the overall work of Saint Andrew Press, the Kirk's publishing house; and the monthly publication Ministers' Forum.

Its remit includes taking all related commercial decisions with regards Saint Andrew Press and to monitor pricing and delivery of published material to councils and use by councils of the publishing house. The committee is also responsible for monitoring the cost of printing by councils and to make recommendations to the Council of Assembly on whether this should be outsourced.
