Our mission is to produce and distribute resources that spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ. The following areas of ministry are the ways we carry out that mission.
What does Desiring God do?
Website
On our website you will find hundreds of resources and products to help you find your joy in God. In our resource library you will find hundreds of sermons, articles, online books, biographies, seminars, and other resources to read, listen, and watch, all without charge. In our store you will find all of John Piper's books and many CD albums, MP3s, and DVDs of his messages available for purchase.
Conferences
Each year, we do four conferences: A fall national conference in Minneapolis, a winter pastors conference, and two regional conferences in other cities. See our events section for more information.
John Piper's Speaking
John Piper speaks several times a year throughout the country, proclaiming this truth: The glory of God is the highest joy of mankind. See John Piper's Speaking Schedule to see where he is speaking next.
Noel Piper Resources
Noel Piper speaks often throughout the country and has written several books and articles. See Noel Piper's resource page to find out more about Noel and her ministry.
Children Desiring God
Through Children Desiring God, we write and publish children's curriculum for Sunday school, mid-week, and backyard Bible club use.
International Outreach
Desiring God is working to expand access to the teaching of John Piper to those outside of the United States.
Prison Ministry
There are real people in our prisons who need to hear the gospel and to be encouraged in their faith. Desiring God seeks to serve them and the chaplains in those prisons through our volunteer-led inmate ministry.
The Bethlehem Bookstore
In addition to making our resources available online and throughout the world, we run a local, full-sized church bookstore specializing in Reformed and Puritan authors, called The Bethlehem Bookstore.
Desiring God is a ministry of Bethlehem Baptist Church, where John Piper is lead pastor for preaching.
Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.
John 6:27
