Northeast Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce: Day with Steve Green at Museum of the Bible
Washington, DC, May 5-7, 2007
Inspire Experiences invites you to the Museum of the Bible for a faith-deepening experience designed to strengthen confidence in the truth, goodness, and beauty of Scripture. Guided by an expert docent, this curated tour will explore the Bible’s enduring influence on the church, our nation, and the world.
This exclusive experience features a day filled with inspiring talks and dialogue with Steve Green, co-founder of the Museum of the Bible and president of Hobby Lobby. While enjoying valuable time with members of the Green family, you will learn about the history of Museum of the Bible, the Christian principles that guide the Green family in leading Hobby Lobby, and how the Bible tells one story as "This Beautiful Book." The Green family’s story reflects a commitment to honoring God through stewardship, service, and a deep investment in people and community as they have cultivated a legacy rooted in generosity, faith, and purpose.

Crafting experiences that Inspire confidence in God's Word.
Museum of the Bible is partnering with Inspire to bring you this carefully curated opportunity. Click here to learn more about Inspire.
Our mission is simple: we create experiences and resources that Inspire confidence in God’s Word. Every journey and learning moment is biblically literate (rooted in careful handling of Scripture), historically informed (framed by place, people, and context), and spiritually engaged (woven with worship, prayer, and reflection). Along the way we ask three shaping questions—Is it good? Is it true? Is it beautiful?—so that what we design forms head and heart in harmony.
Across town or across the ocean—wherever Scripture meets place. Cathedrals and quiet cloisters, university quads and world-class museums, windswept coasts and city squares. It’s a gallery at dusk, a chapel at first light, a library stack, or a picturesque countryside. In the U.S. and abroad, we design choreographed, five-star days where scripture unfolds—with after-hours access when it matters, scholar-led walk-throughs when it helps, and space for worship, prayer, and reflection.
