This in-depth Bible study for adults dives deep into God’s Word. Designed by an ecumenical collaborative so that participants in multiple denominations are studying the same passages together, participants study the Bible over a six-year period, focusing on a specific theme each quarter.

The Leader’s Guide is no-prep, effortless to use, and leadership can be rotated between anyone in the group. The Participant’s Book provides helpful information and an optional daily Bible reading plan for each person. Worship Leaflets enhance the Bible study by pulling in elements of worship into each lesson.

 

Session Flow
