Finding your place

Simon Baker | August 7, 2025

Finding your place in a community can be truly transformative, especially when that community gathers around something as enriching as Bible study. Imagine a space where you can explore the timeless truths of the Bible together, asking questions, sharing insights, and growing in your understanding of Jesus.

Joining a Bible study group offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who are also seeking hope, joy, and peace. It’s a wonderful way to learn and follow the teachings that have inspired countless lives. Far from being a dry academic exercise, these groups are vibrant hubs of discussion where you can deepen your faith and truly become a disciple in action.

As the Bible reminds us in John 8:32 (ESV Anglicised), “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This freedom comes from engaging with God’s word and seeing how it applies to our daily lives. Whether you’re new to faith or have been on this journey for years, there’s always more to discover. Sharing this journey with others makes it all the more rewarding.

Many churches and organisations offer a variety of Bible study groups to suit different interests and schedules. You can often find local options through websites like Bible Study Fellowship, Community Bible Study or by checking with your local church. Online studies are available if you can’t find a suitable one locally. These groups are more than just meetings; they’re opportunities to build lasting friendships and grow closer to God. Come and experience the warmth and wisdom of learning together!
