Crossway is a not-for-profit Christian ministry and evangelical publishing house founded in 1938. Headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, it operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its stated mission is to proclaim the gospel and serve the church, with any surplus revenue reinvested into the ministry rather than distributed to individuals.
The publisher's portfolio includes gospel-centered books, Bible studies, devotionals, and tracts. Its most well-known publication is the English Standard Version (ESV) Bible, a widely used English translation. The organization distributes its content globally through international distributors and licensing agreements.
As a nonprofit ministry rather than a commercial enterprise, Crossway's work is organized around its religious mission. Its operations span religious publishing and evangelical ministry, with a publishing heritage that extends over eight decades.
