"Inspiring disciples and empowering evangelists around the globe every day, Forward Movement has been producing excellent, innovative resources to encourage spiritual growth in individuals and congregations for more than eighty years. Growing out of a determination of The Episcopal Church's General Convention in 1934, Forward Movement brought new life to the church after a period of decline. Our "forward movement" was charged to "reinvigorate the life of the church" and since 1935 we have been offering discipleship and evangelism resources to encourage spiritual growth.
​
Best known for Forward Day by Day, a daily devotion providing meditations on scripture readings, we continue to build on our history of encouraging discipleship and evangelism.
Today we offer books and ebooks for small groups, individual study, and prayer, Christian formation courses, leadership events, Spanish and bilingual resources, pamphlets, downloadable resources, a daily podcast, apps for your smartphones or tablets, and online engagement opportunities.
​
Forward Movement donates over 100,000 resources for Bible study, daily reflection, and spiritual nourishment each year to prisoners, hospital patients, and nursing home residents in fifty countries around the globe. Our ministry is made possible through generous donations and through sales."

The Forward Movement is comparable to The UpperRoom.
