Bible Study

Bible study is the practice of an individual or a group reading and considering in depth the meaning of scripture and interpreting passages in light of other passages. A sound bible study will provide a Christian with a theological foundation for belief, practical insights for daily living, as well as a foundation for training in ministry roles. In a missions context, Bible studies are often a starting place for missions work, although they should not be confused for a church service.
