Bible Studies Overview

Outreach+

Bible Studies allow your church to create structured, teacher-led study programs with individual lesson tracking. Teachers lead studies, students are assigned to them, and progress is tracked lesson by lesson.

Key Concepts

TermDescription
StudyA Bible study group with a teacher, assigned students, and a series of lessons
LessonAn individual session within a study that can be marked complete
Study TemplateA reusable curriculum that can be applied to new studies

How Studies Work

  1. A leader or admin creates a study and assigns a teacher
  2. Students are added to the study
  3. The teacher creates lessons (or uses a template) and teaches through them
  4. As lessons are completed, the teacher marks them complete
  5. Leaders can monitor progress across all studies from the Bible Studies page
