Your Group Leader will reach out, often in the week before your first meeting, with all your group information, including how to access study materials and where to start.

Each weekly lesson has daily questions to answer in your own time before attending class. Allow God to speak as you read and answer as many as you can. Don’t worry if you can’t finish; new habits take time.

Weekly teaching enriches your study by deepening your understanding of the lesson and helping you apply the truths of God's Word to your daily life. In an in-person class, the weekly lecture is presented during class by a trained Teaching Leader. In a BSF Online group, you will listen to the weekly teaching on your own after the group meeting, at a time that works best for you.

In your personal study time, read the lesson notes for the week. These notes have been written by a team of BSF staff and vetted theologians providing historical, doctrinal, and other insights about the passage you have studied this week to help you grow in your understanding and application of the Bible. Additionally, these notes, along with your lecture, will aid you in answering the first day questions for the following week's lesson.
