Study Templates

Outreach+

Study templates are reusable curricula that make it easy to launch new Bible studies without recreating the lesson plan from scratch.

What Is a Study Template?​

A study template defines a standard set of lessons that can be applied when creating a new study. Think of it as a pre-built curriculum:

  • Template name — e.g., "New Believer Foundations," "Book of Romans"
  • Description — What the curriculum covers
  • Lessons — The full list of lessons in order

Creating a Template​

  1. Navigate to Settings > Bible Studies (admin only)
  2. Click New Template
  3. Enter the template name and description
  4. Add lessons to the template:
    • Lesson title
    • Lesson number (order)
    • Optional description
  5. Click Save

Using a Template​

When creating a new study:

  1. Select the Use Template option
  2. Choose from your available templates

Editing a Template​

Editing a template does not affect studies that were already created from it. Changes only apply to new studies created from the template going forward.

Sharing Templates Across Churches​

If you're part of a church network Multiply+, templates can be shared across churches in your network. A shared template from a parent church will appear in the template list for connected churches.
