Core Values

At American Bible Society, our core values guide everything we do—they shape how we work, how we serve, and how we grow together.

Rooted in the Word, Following Christ

• We seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all aspects of our ministry, our decision-making, and our operations, trusting in his wisdom (James 1:5).
• We uphold the integrity and truth of Scripture in all our endeavors, ensuring our actions are aligned with the teachings of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
• We strive to represent Christ in our behaviors and actions, reflecting his love and compassion to all (Colossians 3:17).
• We prioritize work that helps people encounter God’s Word and experience transformation through a deeper relationship with Christ, in communion with the broader Christian community (Hebrews 10:24-25).

Service with Christ-like Humility

• We embrace serving one another, prioritizing the needs of others, equipping them to do their work well, and fostering a culture of unity, continuous improvement, and servant leadership (Philippians 2:3-4).
• We practice empathy and generosity, demonstrating an abundance mindset and recognizing our responsibility to share what we have been given (2 Corinthians 9:10-11).
• We grow in humility, learning from diverse perspectives, owning and learning from our failures, and showing respect and grace in all interactions (Colossians 3:12).
• We foster a joyful environment with collective enthusiasm that inspires and uplifts each other, demonstrating the joy of the Lord in all we do (Psalm 32:11).

Impact-Driven

• We listen, innovate, create, and adapt with urgency to meet the current and emerging needs of individuals and communities (1 Corinthians 9:22b).
• We follow God’s intent for us to work together as the body of Christ to reach the most impactful outcomes and collaborate internally and externally toward that end (1 Corinthians 12:4-7).
• We focus on outcomes, using verifiable data and research-driven approaches to ensure efficacy, excellence, and accountability in all we do (Colossians 3:23-24).

Integrity in Action

• We steward our time, talent, and resources wisely, ensuring they are allocated effectively and with excellence (1 Peter 4:10 and Luke 16:10-12).
• We act with honesty, transparency, and courage, maintaining accountability and truthfulness in love in all our actions (Proverbs 11:3, Ephesians 4:15, and Hebrews 3:6).
• We engage in trust-building behaviors marked by ownership of our responsibilities, delivering on our commitments, objectivity and reliability in our measurement, and openness to scrutiny (Matthew 24:45-46 and Proverbs 10:9).

We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, created in the image of God, and strive to reflect Christ’s love and justice in our employment practices.
