Free national streaming event begins April 18 and continues April 19–25, live from the Museum of the Bible
WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 18, 2026 – Great American Pure Flix will livestream America Reads the Bible, a historic weeklong public reading of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation taking place in the nation’s capital during America’s 250th anniversary year.
The event begins with an Opening Celebration on April 18 at 7:00 p.m. ET inside the National Community Church/Capital Turnaround, followed by daily Scripture readings from April 19–25, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET, streaming free nationwide on PureFlix.com and on the Pure Flix App.
Organized around the theme “One Week. One Nation. One Book.”, nearly 500 leaders from ministry, entertainment, public service, and civic life will read the Bible aloud at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. The format is simple and intentional, one voice at a time, reading Scripture continuously from Genesis to Revelation.
“This week is about making Scripture accessible,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great American Media. “Not everyone can travel to Washington to be in the room, but families across the country can still pause, listen, and open their own Bibles at home. We’re grateful to use Great American Pure Flix to help carry God’s Word beyond the Museum and into homes nationwide.”
