About TRINITARIAN BIBLE SOCIETY

Trinitarian Bible Society is a long-established, donor-facing Christian charity (originally founded 1831) that publishes, promotes and distributes Protestant/Trinitarian editions of the Bible and Scripture items worldwide. The Society focuses on producing and circulating Bible editions translated from what it identifies as the best biblical-language texts, prioritizing faithful textual bases and excluding the Apocrypha in English-language editions.

The U.S. arm operates from Grand Rapids, Michigan and supports international translation, publishing and distribution projects through auxiliaries and partner ministries. Recent years show continued program activity and financial support: the organization reported sustaining program services and grew reported revenue in the 2022–2024 period while continuing translation and distribution efforts and holding regular member events and gatherings.

Notable achievements

Founded in 1831, the Society has maintained continuous global Bible-distribution and publishing work since the 19th century, establishing a long-standing international network of auxiliaries and partners.

Large-scale Scripture distribution

The Society describes distribution of millions of Bibles and Scripture items worldwide and maintains an active retail/catalog operation and donation programs to circulate Scriptures for evangelism, discipleship and church use.

Translation and Scripture projects

In the last few years the Society has reported involvement in multiple translation projects and support for work among ‘scripture-less’ language groups, advancing first or improved Bible access in several languages and contexts.
