WHAT TO EXPECT
Learning, Sharing & Relationship
Community Bible Study classes are offered either during the day or in the evening, in person and online, during the school terms.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
Classes typically meet once a week for about one-and-half hours, over the course of roughly 30 weeks.
-
Your take-home material includes questions that relate to what’s being studied. Each week these questions will help prepare you for the class.
-
On class day you’ll meet with your discussion group, or core group, to discuss the lesson. Each core group has about 12 people in it, and is facilitated by a trained leader.
-
This is followed by a 15-30 minute large group teaching. These teachings, and the written professional commentary that you take home, offer additional insights into the week’s passage. You’ll be challenged to apply what you’ve learned to your daily life.
-
Fellowship time over a cuppa is usually incorporated into your class time.
-
Some classes offer a children's and/or youth program, prepared using CBS resources and presented by trained, dedicated leaders.
