I have only been to one non-Catholic church that had bibles in the pews. That was an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church. That was to ensure that you had the approved version. None of the others which included Baptist, Southern Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal had anything but a hymnal.

I recently attended a funeral service at a Presbyterian church. There were no bibles in the pews - only hymnals.

Similar experiences here. I’ve been to two independant non denominational churches that had a couple of Bibles in each pew. No Anglican, Lutheran (MS or ELCA), Presbyterian or Baptist church that I’ve been in has had a Bible in the pews. Come to think of, neither has any Church of Christ that I’ve been in.
