Several Disciple short-term courses are now available.  They are:


These studies are in-depth, high commitment Bible studies, modeled after
these basic principles of DISCIPLE Bible Study:

  1. The Bible is the starting point for the study
  2. weekly preparation on the part of individual participants
  3. weekly discussion in a small-group setting that builds community
  4. leader functions as facilitator
  5. a video component

Short-Term DISCIPLE Bible Studies make these life-changing courses easier to
be a part of for those busy people who are unable to commit to longer studies.

Weekly group meetings are designed to last 60-90 minutes with a two-part
video segment to guide each session with interpretive presentations from
biblical scholars; contextual presentations and round-table discussions; and
opportunities for reflection, contemplation, or inspiration on some aspect of the
Scripture studied.
