Taking the time to think through and plan the launch of your next Bible study session will bless both your team and your participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When we\u2019re organized and intentional, the whole process runs smoother!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s walk together through the steps you’ll want to take to launch your next Bible study session!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

8 Steps to a Successful Bible Study Launch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Determine your session length<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many women\u2019s ministry teams divide their Bible study offerings into three or four sessions<\/strong> \u2013 fall, winter, spring, and summer. Some teams offer one continuous study during the school year and offer summer book clubs<\/a> or Bible study books during the summer months. Calculate the number of weeks you\u2019ll need to fill \u2013 don\u2019t forget to take into account holidays and school breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Decide who will make the Bible study selection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Who will decide what study or book is used?<\/strong> Will the facilitator of the small group make the selection? Has your Pastor recommended a study for your group? Do you want to assemble a Bible Study Review Team<\/a>? Are you going to ask current or past Bible study attendees to vote? Does your Women\u2019s Ministry Director or Bible Study Coordinator have a vision for this year\u2019s study?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Narrow your list of possible Bible studies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the 66 books of the Bible, there are thousands of Bible study book options to consider.<\/strong> It can be overwhelming! My How to Select a Bible Study<\/a> mini-course (it\u2019s also part of the Bible Study Facilitator Course<\/a>) can help you determine what would be best for your<\/em> group of women. If you\u2019re looking for suggestions, I\u2019ve got lots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Bible Study Book Recommendations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Please note affiliate links follow.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. READ Bible Study for Groups<\/a> \u2013 Check this out if you\u2019re looking to teach your women how to read and study God\u2019s Word. Weekly worksheets guide women through the Bible one (or two) chapters each week, allowing them to soak in God\u2019s Word. Discussion groups allow women to share and learn from one another.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lies Women Believe<\/a> \u2013 This study by Nancy DeMoss Woldgemuth was recently updated and expanded to include the impact social media has on the lies our women believe. You can read my review here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Just Open the Door<\/a> \u2013 More the just another book on hospitality, Jen Schmidt encourages women to open their door to the people God has placed in their path. Short videos compliment deep scripture study. You can read my review here.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. None Like Him<\/a> \u2013 Over ten weeks, Jen Wilkin walks readers through 10 attributes of God as revealed in scripture. You\u2019ll find your finite opinion of who God is and what He is capable of expands and with it comes a greater appreciation for who God is and what He is capable of. You can read my review here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    4. Prayerfully recruit Bible study group facilitators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You can use the same method I recommend in recruiting team members in this post<\/a>. Don\u2019t just rely on past facilitators, ask former group leaders for recommendations.<\/strong> They likely had women in their previous groups who were gifted in facilitating and encouragement. Be open to new Bible study time slots based on your facilitator\u2019s availability and preference. There\u2019s a group of 9 women at our church that faithfully meet at 6:45 AM. Not a single woman dropped!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Train your Bible study facilitators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Set expectations and spend time praying for and encouraging your facilitators.<\/strong> It\u2019s hard, often thankless work, and they need your support! Consider purchasing the Bible Study Facilitator Training Course<\/a> for yourself and your team. Bulk pricing and site licenses are available. Get more info here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Open registration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once you\u2019ve set your study, facilitators, and times, invite women to attend!<\/strong> Sign-ups increase commitment levels and give you time to recruit additional facilitators if needed so every woman can participate. If possible, offer online and in-person registration for your women. Make sure they know if they need to purchase any materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7. Publicize your studies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Use every tool and format available to you!<\/strong> Click the links for a list of 13 ways to publicize events<\/a> (and 13 more<\/a>) in your church. Don\u2019t forget to invite women in your community too! You\u2019ll find ideas for publicizing events in your community here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8. Host your launch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Many women\u2019s ministry teams prefer to host a kick-off meeting allowing women to fellowship as a large group. Some women appreciate additional information on studies before making their final decision. Eat a light breakfast and play an icebreaker game<\/a>. Have fun, but also be practical! Use this opportunity to talk about group guidelines<\/a> and attendance expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    May God bless your Bible study preparations! May your women come to know and love God more by spending time together in His Word.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
