I am wondering if they do the same thing that Churches do. I would like to read free Buddhist scriptures and get Buddhist studies.

In Theravada Buddhism
In Theravada Buddhism, the standard collection of buddhavacana is the Pali Canon.
Some scholars believe that some portions of the Pali Canon and Agamas could contain the actual substance of the historical teachings (and possibly even the words) of the Buddha.[note 1][note 2]
The Pali Canon: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/
In East Asian Buddhism
In East Asian Buddhism, what is considered buddhavacana is collected in the Chinese Buddhist canon. The most common edition of this is the Taishō Tripiṭaka.
Can't find a full translation yet, but here's some: http://lapislazulitexts.com/tripitaka
In Tibetan Buddhism
In Tibetan Buddhism, what is considered buddhavacana is collected in the Kangyur.
The Kangyur is still being translated into English: http://84000.co/about/inprogress/
But 19 of the book things are up.
