History
[edit]
Founded in 1992 as Logos Research Systems, Inc., when two Microsoft employees, Bob Pritchett and Kiernon Reiniger, along with Bob’s father, Dale Pritchett quit their jobs to develop Christian software.[2][3] Their first product was called Logos Bible Software for Microsoft Windows. For nearly 20 years this was the company's only major product, but more recently they have diversified into a number of other products and services. In October 2014, to reflect this change, the company was rebranded as Faithlife Corporation.[4] In October 2022, the company announced they are refining their strategic direction, exiting church management functionality and other parts of Faithlife Equip, and instead focus on Bible study tools, content delivery, and digital discipleship.[5] The current CEO of Faithlife is Bill McCarthy.[6] Faithlife is a portfolio company of Cove Hill Partners.[7]
