The Gospel Is Free.
The Tools to Share It Should Be Too.
A simple conviction, expressed through practical action.
Why We Build Bible Resources
The Gospel is not for sale. Our technology is developed to help it reach further. A commitment to Scripture, service and the responsible use of technology.
Equipping those who teach, those who serve and those who seek.
The Foundation of Our Mission
In Matthew 10:8, Jesus instructed His disciples, "freely ye have received, freely give." Those words express a principle that reaches far beyond the exchange of money. They speak of the responsibility that accompanies receiving something of immeasurable value from God.
The Gospel is not something humanity invented, nor is salvation something we can manufacture, earn or sell. Scripture teaches that redemption is found in Jesus Christ and that salvation is the gift of God, received through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). That conviction shapes the purpose of Bible Resources.
We believe that access to useful tools for studying Scripture and supporting Christian ministry should not depend entirely upon financial resources. A small congregation should have the opportunity to benefit from meaningful Bible study technology just as a larger organisation does. A missionary working with limited resources should not automatically be excluded from useful applications because of licensing costs.
This does not mean that technology is free to create or maintain. It means we have chosen to make certain applications available as a contribution to Christian service.
Why Technology Matters
The printing press transformed the distribution of Scripture. Later developments in publishing, broadcasting and communications opened further opportunities for teaching and outreach. Today, digital technology provides another means of making biblical resources accessible.
A reader can move from a Bible verse to a concordance entry, examine a commentary, compare related passages and record personal study notes. A church can organise donated resources. A ministry can publish researched articles and provide information to people across geographical boundaries.
Technology does not make the Gospel more powerful. It can, however, help remove practical barriers to accessing and sharing it.
Our Commitments
We want Bible Resources to remain grounded in several enduring principles:
- Scripture first: Biblical texts, references and study resources should be presented faithfully, with clear distinctions between Scripture, historical information, commentary and interpretation.
- Useful rather than impressive: Features should address real needs and support practical work.
- Accessible to ministries: Qualifying organisations should be able to obtain designated applications without software licence charges.
- Responsible stewardship: Development, maintenance, support and commercial activity should be handled transparently and sustainably.
- Freedom to examine: Research tools should encourage careful study rather than impose unsupported conclusions.
Continual improvement: Applications are maintained, corrected and developed as needs and resources permit.
Who We Hope to Serve
Bible Resources is intended for churches, Christian ministries, mission organisations, Bible study groups, Christian educational initiatives, outreach programmes and charitable organisations whose activities align with the purpose of the project.
Individuals studying Scripture can also benefit from the publicly accessible resources made available through participating websites.
Eligibility for software distribution and any associated support arrangements will be defined through a clear application process.
What Free Means
For qualifying organisations, free access means that the designated software applications are provided without a software licence fee.
It does not automatically include server hosting, domain registration, installation, data migration, custom development, training, third-party services or ongoing technical support. These may be provided separately, sponsored or arranged according to the needs and circumstances of the organisation.
We believe that making these distinctions clear is part of acting responsibly towards the organisations we serve.
An Invitation
The purpose of Bible Resources is not simply to distribute software. It is to place useful tools into the hands of people who can use them to teach, learn, help others and share the Gospel.
If these applications can help your organisation serve more effectively, we would welcome the opportunity to understand your needs.

Connect with UsOur approach begins with the biblical text.
Where Christians interpret a passage differently, the aim is to distinguish what Scripture explicitly says from the interpretations used to understand its timing and fulfilment.
