What is the Bible Course?
The Bible Course from the Bible Society is an 8-session, interactive small-group resource designed to help participants understand the "Big Story" of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The course combine video teaching, group discussion, and daily readings to improve confidence in reading the Bible and applying it to daily life.
This free, no-commitment, course will be a chance to explore, learn and ask questions in a safe and friendly space.
