Our Ministries

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.

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.

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
