THE BIBLE SOCIETY OF WESTERN NEW YORK,
INC and
THE BIBLE BOOKSTORE "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.
