THE BIBLE SOCIETY OF WESTERN NEW YORK,INC
"Serving Western New York since 1847"
Mission
Statement:
Since 1847, the purpose of the Bible Society of Western New York has been to “provide”
the Holy Scriptures to every man, woman, and child, in a language and form that can easily be understood, and at a price each
can afford or giving the Scriptures away, still maintaining the Society with the least expense possible. This purpose is undertaken
without doctrinal note or comment, and without profit.
Activities and Programs:
The Bible
Society operates a small Bible Bookstore in the Society’s own building. We carry a wide variety of Bibles in English,
Spanish and other world languages, in all current translations and versions. Many are sold at cost, the remainder at a small
markup to cover the expenses of running the bookstore and the Society, generally. Other merchandise available includes resource
materials to enhance Bible study and understanding, and accessories such as cases and cover, magnifiers, and indexing tabs.
Christian literature in other genre is available by special order. We offer educational materials for Home Schooling, and
will also special order additional materials as available. We are not able to ship books or Bibles locally, or to individuals.
Only orders of Bibles published by the American and International Bible Societies can be shipped from their warehouses to
appropriate ministries. We cannot accept Internet orders at this time.
Additional income for our mission comes from denominational
grants and direct contributions from individuals, churches, and ministries/organizations.
Scripture Grants:
As funds permit, we offer Scriptures to qualified organizations, programs and ministries as reduced cost or free distribution.
Application forms are available upon request. We may also refer programs to other Scripture Granting programs as appropriate.
All requests must be for programs of ongoing engagement in the Scriptures to be considered for receiving any grants. Certain
other limitations are explained in the grant application. We do not provide monetary grants.
Scripture portions, tracts and leaflets may also be available without or at nominal costs.
Annual Daily Bible Reading
Guides are available, each year, at no cost, but contributions are appreciated for quantity requests.
