America Reads The Bible Event
America Reads the Bible is a weeklong event scheduled for April 19-25, 2026, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. The event aims to ignite revival, inspire discipleship, and unite believers through Scripture. Participants from all 50 states, including celebrities and ordinary people, will read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, with live-streaming available on Great American Pure Flix. The event draws inspiration from the books of Nehemiah and Ezra, emphasizing the importance of Scripture and calling for a revival in America. Various organizations, including Christians Engaged and Museum of the Bible, are involved in hosting the event.
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 said.
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 bring their voices, experience, influence and gifts to shape American Reads the Bible. To date, they 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 Association, Her Voice MVMT, First Liberty Institute and 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.
