Bibel TV is a charitable not for profit foundation (Stiftung) based in Hamburg in the north of Germany. It is Germany's first not-for-profit charitable television channel and is financed by support from more than 58,000 Christians who voluntarily donate.[2]

16 Christian organizations were a part of the founding of Bibel TV.[3] Among them are a subsidiary of the television arm of the association of Evangelical Free churches (including Baptist, Methodist, Mennonite, Pentecostal, Salvation Army), the Protestant Church in Germany, the Roman Catholic Church in Germany, the German Billy Graham Association, Campus Crusade for Christ in Germany and the German Bible Society, called Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft.

The director of Bibel TV is Matthias Brender, following the retirement in February 2013 of the founding director, Henning Röhl.[4]
