A groundbreaking Christian bookstore is changing the way believers buy books by making every single purchase a way to support their church.

Allen Brown and his mother, Dr. Carolyn Brown, have launched Build Our Kingdom Publishing, the first-ever Christian bookstore where up to 30% of every book sale is donated directly to the church of the buyer’s choice. Unlike traditional bookstores, this platform allows every Christian reader to choose a church—including their own—to receive a portion of the proceeds from their purchase.

How It Works: Books That Fund Churches

Instead of major retailers keeping all the profits, Build Our Kingdom redirects a significant percentage of each book sale into the church community.

Readers purchase books from the growing library on BuildOurKingdom.com.
At checkout, they choose a church to receive up to 30% of the book’s proceeds.
The bookstore automatically donates the percentage, ensuring that churches receive continuous support from book purchases made by their members and beyond.

“For years, Christians have been buying faith-based books without realizing those purchases could actually help fund the Church,” said Allen Brown, founder of Build Our Kingdom Publishing. “Now, every book sale becomes an opportunity to support ministry and make a Kingdom impact.”

A Better Alternative to Major Retailers Like Amazon

Most major book retailers, such as Amazon, keep up to 60% of a book’s sale price, leaving authors with just a fraction of the earnings. Build Our Kingdom flips this model by redirecting that 60% toward the church instead.

Up to 30% of every book sale goes directly to a church selected by the buyer.
Authors keep more of their book earnings, receiving a higher percentage than they would through major retailers.
More funds stay within the Christian community, strengthening both churches and faith-based authors.

“This model is a win-win for the entire Christian community,” said Brown. “Churches receive additional funding at no cost, authors keep more of their earnings, and readers get access to life-changing Christian books—all while giving back to the Kingdom.”

A New Fundraising Opportunity for Churches

Churches can use this platform as an ongoing fundraising tool by organizing book drives where members are encouraged to purchase Christian books, both for personal growth and to raise money for the church at the same time.

Churches can set book sale goals and encourage members to buy books during a dedicated timeframe.
Every book purchased by a church member directs funds back to their church automatically.
Unlike traditional fundraisers, there’s no upfront cost, no inventory to manage, and no extra work required.

This allows churches to promote Christian reading while generating a consistent stream of financial support.

A New Opportunity for Christian Authors

In addition to creating a church-funded book marketplace, Build Our Kingdom is also offering a publishing and distribution platform for Christian authors.

New authors can submit manuscripts for review and potential publication.
Published authors can apply to have their books listed in the bookstore.

“This is more than just another bookstore—it’s a Kingdom-driven movement,” said Dr. Carolyn Brown. “Readers grow spiritually, authors expand their reach, and churches receive financial support—all through something as simple as buying a book.”
