Made For Your Community

Whoever You Gather, We Can Reach Them

If you’re a church, school or Christian organisation, an Affinity Bible helps you give Scripture in a way that feels made for your community.

Churches

Welcome new believers, mark a baptism or anniversary, or resource a whole congregation with a Bible that carries your church’s name and heart.

Schools

Give graduating students or new families a keepsake Scripture with your crest, values and a message that reflects your special character.

Organisations

Ministries, chaplaincies and outreach movements can share the Word as a branded evangelism tool tailored to the people you serve.

What You Get

Tailored From Cover To Cover

1. Choose Your Scripture

The full Bible, the New Testament, or a Scripture portion such as the Gospel of Luke. Bulk orders start as low as 500 copies.

2. Add Your Brand

A bespoke cover design and your branding throughout. Design it yourself, or use our design team to bring your vision to life.

3. Make It Yours

Include extra pages with content relevant only to your community — a welcome, your story, a reading plan or discipleship pathway.

Support To Help Cover Costs

No Budget Upfront? Mobilise Your Community To Fund It.

Once you’ve ordered, we can give you a dedicated fundraising page so your supporters can help cover the cost of production, turning your whole community into part of the project.

Affinity Bibles FAQ

Who can use your Affinity Bibles service?

Whether you belong to a church, school, or Christian organisation, our Affinity Bibles service is available for you to use. We’re honoured to have served many ministries and we’re excited to work with you to provide customised Bibles that will inspire and empower your community.

Who designs the Bibles?

Most of our customers prefer to design their own Bibles, but we also offer a design service at an additional cost for those who need it. Whether you have a specific vision in mind or need some guidance, our design team will work with you to create a beautiful, personalised Bible that reflects your ministry’s identity and values.

What is the minimum / maximum number of orders?

For a one-off print run, we typically require a minimum order of 1000 copies. However, if your order is part of a larger scheduled run alongside other print jobs, we can offer a minimum order of 500 copies. Every ministry has different needs and budgets, and we’re here to help you find a printing solution that works for you.

What Bible translation do you recommend?

We’ve partnered with Tyndale to recommend the New Living Translation (NLT) — easy to read and understand, and perfect for worship, study and reflection. If your ministry prefers a different translation we’re happy to accommodate; please note this may result in extra royalty charges and time delays.

What are the printing timeframes?

Once we’ve received the final print file for your order, printing typically takes around 2 months if done locally. For offshore printing the process may take a bit longer. We keep you updated throughout and ensure your Bibles are delivered within an agreed timeframe.

Can you outline the process from start to finish?

Yes — enquire via the form, we meet to discuss your vision, we provide a quote (a 50{0efa61f77e4cd09e7b4f08094b2911ffcdf8ad00293cb60de4a24edfe6036ea2} deposit may be required), design files are produced by your team or ours, the finalised files go to print, and your Affinity Bibles are delivered ready to share. We’re here to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.

How much does it cost per copy?

Pricing varies depending on the type of Scripture, the printing location, and the number of extra pages included. As a guide, we typically provide an indicative estimate of $10 per copy. Get in touch and we’ll give you a tailored quote.

Can you help us fund our Affinity Bibles?

Yes. For ministries that need to fundraise, we provide dedicated fundraising pages — a powerful way to engage your supporters and raise the funds you need to create the perfect Bible for your ministry.
