Bible study

[Blessed-one]

how often does your church provide bible study? once a week, once a month?

my fellowship is considering the option of adding more bible study classes.... but then we have different opinions... so...
please help! thanks.

At my church we have home groups where we study the Bible, pray and have fellowship together once a week. We have a women's Bible study once a week too.

My Church provides His People Bible School, http://www.hispeople.com and I enrolled for this year. It’s a weekly commitment and I love it. There are lots of courses to do; I also committed myself for the Elijah house video school. This is a counseling course, what I like about it is that they first help me to get myself straighten out before ministering to other people. Elijah house is a six months course and I have to attend it once a month but then it’s the whole weekend.

that's great Doreen. The problem that we're having with is how to get non-christians interested without making them stress out over the bible study, but then, the christians need bible study too....

so confusing....

i've an answer for that one blessed. I went to a church taht had bible based programs for weight loss, finances, even car repair. They were announced in the paper as being christian based but non believers showed up. not all stayed, some did.

Over here we have something called Alpha course which is geared towards non-Christians but also good for Christians. Bible studies could perhaps follow on later or as well as. Alpha has been very successful in Britain I don't know if you have something similar.

thanks reeann, we've something called "Tea party" once a month in which a christian related VCD is shown (usually a story), then we have some snack and chat over stuff.
