BibleProject (also known as The Bible Project) is a non-profit,[1] crowdfunded organization based in Portland, Oregon, focused on creating free educational resources to help people understand the Bible. The organization was founded in 2014 by Tim Mackie and Jon Collins.[2]

The mission of BibleProject is to "help people experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus."[3]

BibleProject produces animated videos that explore the literary structure, themes, and history of individual books of the Bible, as well as videos that explore key biblical concepts and themes.[4] These videos are available on their website, YouTube, and various social media platforms. The organization also produces podcasts, study guides, online classes, a mobile app, and other resources. Resources are available for free to users of the website and application.[5]

History

BibleProject was started by friends Timothy Mackie and Jonathan Collins in 2014.[6] They wanted to create free online teaching videos combining Mackie's academic background with Collins' professional experience writing explainer videos for technology companies. By the start of 2024, BibleProject had created over 180 videos and 350 podcasts, gathering over 620 million views from across 200 countries[7] The organization's model is to be crowdfunded. Revenue increased from less than $900,000 in 2015 to over $9 million in 2019[8] and reaching over $23 million in 2023[9] In 2022, the organization launched a new mobile app.[10]
