Studying God's Word in Community

What started small has grown over the last few years into an inclusive Bible study group where our kids are able to engage with the Word in transformational ways. 

Now open to all students from second to twelfth grade, this Youth Bible Study is designed to provide opportunities for the next generation to live Christ-like lives as they prepare for their adventures ahead and equip themselves with the hope and truth needed to live in a world in need of both.

This interdenominational Bible study is comprised of members of various churches throughout our community. The group is designed to build both faith in Christ and Christian community among students in grades two through twelve. Each week we dive into a different passage of Scripture and address questions about how to apply the truth found in the Bible to daily life. 

In the summer of 2021, a group of fifth-grade boys began meeting to study the Bible together after returning home from Camp Bethany. Shortly after, a group of sixth- and seventh-grade girls initiated a parallel gathering, prompting five mothers in our community to commit to opening their homes on a rotating basis to host these Scripture-focused meetups. As attendance grew beyond the capacity of living rooms and finished basements, local churches graciously offered space for the weekly gatherings—despite the group having no formal denominational affiliation. By the end of that first year, more than 35 students were regularly participating. Since then, the momentum has only increased. Now, in consecutive years, students from grades two through twelve meet each week to worship, learn, and grow in Christ together.
