As the new year begins, many people choose to put God first by committing to read the Bible more. Coming off a banner year in 2024, the YouVersion Community is already breaking records again.
The first Sunday of the month, January 5, was the #1 day in YouVersion history for both app installs and Bible engagement in the app. Not only that, but January 1 currently ranks as the #3 highest day in YouVersion history for app installs, with 12% more installs than last year’s New Year’s Day.
With millions of people engaging in God’s Word so far this year, January 1 was also the highest day of all time for Bible Plan subscriptions—up 18% compared to New Year’s Day of 2024. In fact, we’ve seen more than 3 million subscriptions to Plans that guide readers through the Bible in a year.
“We saw incredible momentum in Bible engagement around the world last year, and it’s encouraging to see people continuing to press in and start the year strong,” said Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion Founder and CEO. “We’re passionate about helping people seek God daily through His Word because we know that’s when true life transformation happens.”
