Have you tried to read the Bible, but got confused or bored, so you stopped? Maybe you’re curious about the Bible, but you’re too intimidated to open it up. Maybe you’ve been to church, and they started talking about Moses or 2 Kings or the epistles, and you had no idea what they were talking about, but you were too embarrassed to ask someone about it.

Getting Started with the Bible is for you. This course begins from the basics, explaining what the Bible is, where it came from, how it’s organized, and what it contains. By the end, you'll also learn a simple approach to reading any passage of Scripture and discovering practical truths you can apply to your life. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.

This course is available online and suitable for individual study at your own pace or in a group setting.

Ready to dive deeper into Scripture? Join Pastor Oscar for an 8-week study of Ephesians: United in Christ, on Mission with Christ. Running Thursdays from September 17 to November 5 (6:30–8pm), we will explore biblical unity, who Christ is, and how we grow in holiness. You will also learn how to study the Bible yourself using the practical COMMA method.

At the heart of Jesus' ministry was a desire to train disciples to fish for people. Join us for the next SHARE evangelism training as we explore the methods Jesus himself used to reach people in multiple settings. You'll learn practical ways to reach people in your family, church, and neighborhood, as well as strangers, outcasts, and co-workers.
