See What Leaders Are Saying About Explore The Bible

Explore the Bible empowers our members to increase their biblical literacy, which provides opportunities to apply the Bible to their lives daily.

Travis S., West Chester, OH

With Explore the Bible, you come to Bible study, and you get everything you need…it’s changing the way that we do church.

Derek A., Sherwood, AR

Explore the Bible has helped our leaders to develop discipleship groups to discuss the Word, pray for each other, and live on mission. I so appreciate that Explore the Bible is text-based, because it brings the Bible’s promises and commands in front of us.
