Dear Friends,
Your participation is essential for our work to continue. The children in public schools are receiving Biblical instruction, the prison inmates are participating in Bible Studies, teens are finding their lives have purpose, missionaries have the new teaching tool, the Good News Turtle, and women in crisis pregnancies are learning God’s amazing promises for their lives……all these and more are impacted by your gift.
To let you know we are working to a Standard of Excellence in every area of our ministry, we are very happy to announce our accreditation by the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA). This is a very important and exciting event! If you want more information about ECFA, see our press release below.
The Maryland Bible Society is 204 years old this month, founded in April 1810. We are beginning our 3rd century, refreshed and energized through the Holy Spirit.
May you be abundantly blessed by Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

For over 200 years, the mission of the Maryland Bible Society (MBS) has been to see that every individual has an opportunity to own a Bible regardless of their native language or financial situation. Here in Maryland this mission has been mostly fulfilled. We now are turning our emphasis to encouraging and helping people read, understand and live out the truths and principles God has given us through His Holy Scriptures. As a non-denominational ministry, MBS is uniquely positioned to offer God’s Word without note or comment to Christians from all denominational backgrounds. This position allows us to work with all local Christian churches, serving and assisting them as they follow God’s lead.
MBS has and will continue to establish and build partnerships that promote the distribution of the Bible, supply related sources and provide educational opportunities. Our vision is to ignite fresh passion for God’s Word to be lived out in the daily lives of people in Maryland and the world beyond. God’s Word contains truths that speak to all of the important areas of our lives: family, marriage, work, friendships, finances and parenting. It serves as the ‘road map’ for the often-overwhelming experience of life. It is a comfort, an encouragement, a teacher. It is convicting, edifying and inspiring. The Bible reveals our purpose in life. The Creator of the Universe has given us His Word to guide and direct us as we serve Him and live in the world.
As we embark on this renewed vision, our desire is to impact lives. As God leads us on this great adventure, we invite you to partner with us. Lives will be transformed as the Holy Spirit works through the Scriptures, resources and opportunities provided by MBS. Join us as we ignite fresh passion for God’s Word among individuals, ministries, local Churches, and businesses.
