What Faithlife does

Faithlife is a privately held Bible technology company founded in 1992 by Bob Pritchett and headquartered in Bellingham, Washington. The company operates a portfolio of wholly-owned brands centered on deepening biblical literacy through software and digital content, with Logos Bible Software as its flagship offering.
