The Bible‑reading experience, featuring participants from all 50 states and aiming to inspire Americans to seek the Word daily, will be livestreamed from the Museum of the Bible on Great American Pure Flix.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 24, 2025 — Christians Engaged and Great American Media today announced plans to present America Reads the Bible, a week‑long celebration that highlights Americans from all walks of life reading biblical Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation.
Held April 19–25, 2026, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., the event will kick off with an opening celebration the night before on April 18 and will be livestreamed over seven days from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Great American Pure Flix.
America Reads the Bible will feature influential voices—from well‑known celebrities to ordinary people—representing all 50 states reading God’s Word in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
“This is a national call to ignite revival, inspire discipleship, and unite believers through the power of Scripture,” said Bunni Pounds, founder of Christians Engaged.
“We believe the Word of God can transform individuals and nations—and we’re inviting Americans to participate by listening or reading it aloud together, in a powerful act of unity and faith,” Pounds added.
The event draws inspiration from the biblical example of Ezra, who read Scripture publicly as a call to spiritual renewal. In the same spirit, America Reads the Bible seeks to awaken a generation to the truth, authority, and enduring relevance of God’s Word.
“America Reads the Bible is a powerful reminder that the foundation of our freedoms is deeply tied to the Word of God,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great American Media. “This historic partnership reflects our mission to celebrate faith, family, and country by bringing this national moment into every home.”
The public is invited to participate in person at the Museum of the Bible and to watch via livestream on Great American Pure Flix, home of uplifting faith and family content. This will allow millions to join from all around the country.
Esteemed partners from across the nation have signed on to lend their voices, experience, influence, and gifts to shape America Reads the Bible. Partners include: Museum of the Bible, Time to Revive, Whitaker House Publishing, Andrew Wommack Ministries, Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), WallBuilders, Promise Keepers, Waterstone Foundation, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Allen Jackson Ministries, Pray.com, Family Policy Alliance Foundation, Jack Graham Ministries, Family Research Council, National Religious Broadcasters (NRB TV), Her Voice MVMT, First Liberty Institute, and the Salt and Light Council.
“United we stand at this historic crossroads to inspire our nation to remember our Christian roots, to walk deeply in faith, and to elevate the Word of God in every area of American life into the next 250 years of our national story,” Pounds said.
