Who are we?
What does this Bible Study course involve? Group members are asked to spend 30-45 minutes each day reading assigned passages from the Bible – which means that by the end of the course they will have read approximately 70% of the Bible for themselves.
Each group member is given their own study manual which includes the daily reading assignments of Scripture along with commentary and questions for reflection and response. Suggestions for individual research and study-related activities are also provided. Plenty of space is available for taking notes while reading Scripture, for recording thoughts and daily study, and for making notes during the weekly group meetings.
The group meetings take place weekly when participants start by viewing a short video giving further information on the background and historical content of the Bible passages studied that week. The group leader then encourages members to explore the passages more deeply by using a variety of structured approaches suggested during leadership training.
Who is it for? DISCIPLE is designed to be used by adults of varying ages and backgrounds across the denominations – from people who have just left school to people in their eighties; from new Christians to retired clergy! Groups are running both in rural areas and inner cities. There are Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Roman Catholics and URC members taking part in DISCIPLE groups across the country.
DISCIPLE gives people the opportunity to encounter the broad sweep of the Bible – from start to finish – and to discover the relevance of the Scriptures to everyday life in the 21st century. Some churches are therefore offering DISCIPLE as a follow-on to other well-known courses. A number of ecumenical groups also enjoy using the DISCIPLE course material.
