Who We Are
Mission
The mission of American Bible Society is to make the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand and afford, so all people may experience its life-changing message.
At A Glance
After almost 200 years of ongoing ministry, American Bible Society invites people to experience the life-changing message of the Bible. Offering an increasing range of innovative ministries to address core life questions and struggles, the Bible Society partners with Christian churches and national Bible societies to share God’s Word both in the United States and around the globe.
What We’re All About
American Bible Society brings the love of Jesus Christ and the life-changing message of the Bible where it’s needed most. We challenge the notion that the Bible is a dusty, outdated rulebook. By serving today’s generations, we provide anytime, anywhere Scripture resources where translation is lacking, access is blocked, crisis is present and life doesn’t make sense.
Trusted Worldwide
The excellence of the American Bible Society’s mission has earned the trust of hundreds of thousands of supporters and volunteers to bring the life-changing message of God’s Word to over 200 countries and territories. We partner with churches, national Christian ministries and a global fellowship of United Bible Societies to help touch millions of the lives hungry for the hope of the Bible.
American Bible Society has been selected as one of the nation’s best Christian workplaces for 2012. This distinguished honor is decided on by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute and awarded each year to 24 faith-based organizations that exhibit excellence in mission and culture.
