YouVersion

We wholeheartedly believe intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. That’s why YouVersion creates culturally relevant, biblically-centered experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God throughout each day. Through these experiences, we create opportunities for people to connect with God, helping them form a spiritually-rich rhythm of seeking God intimately. Our hope is that each person in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer to Him every day. YouVersion is a ministry of Life.Church. Named one of the largest, fastest growing and most innovative churches in America, Life.Church is one church in multiple locations, and we are passionate about using technology to reach the world with the hope of Jesus. This passion led us to start YouVersion in 2007 with a simple vision, which God has grown to a community of over 550 million (and counting!). Life.Church wants to make a lasting difference in our communities and the world, seeking to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We are risk-taking, irrationally generous, spiritual contributors who bring our best, laugh hard, and honor God with integrity. In 2019, Glassdoor named Life.Church a Best Place to Work and named our senior pastor, Craig Groeschel, one of the Top CEOs.
