Bible Studies @ St. William
Why do a Bible Study?
Bible study involves reading, interpreting, and applying the Bible in your life, with a focus on deepening faith and understanding Catholic teachings. It's a way to learn about the Bible, strengthen your relationship with God, and build community.
While there may be some slight variations, depending on the study, participants will do preparation in advance usually consisting of reading and workbook assignments, there will be group and/or table discussions and video presentations.
Studying the Bible provides us with a firm foundation in God's truth; it can deepen our prayer life and enable the development of relationships with fellow attendees.
Interested in spiritual growth? Sign up for one of the upcoming Bible study offerings. Scholarships are available for materials if necessary.
The following is the list of the Bible studies scheduled to start in September. Contact the study lead through Flocknotes for information, class capacity and to sign-up.
If you are interested in a study not currently planned, consider starting your own group. Groups can meet through an online group chat or in a home setting. The following link is for a free Bible Study Leader Training https://ascensionpress.com/pages/bible-study-leader-training-sign-up
Most of our studies are through Ascension Press https://ascensionpress.com but other sources can be chosen. Because of ongoing anti-Catholic rhetoric, it is advised to use Catholic studies to make sure scripture is not taken out of context. The Ascension Press studies include a 30-minute video along with the workbook, your bible and Catechism of the Catholic Church.
