We can help you study the Bible so you can find freedom, healing and hope in Jesus.

No matter who you are or what you do, this imperfect world will eventually fail you.

Who has time for more empty promises of success, wealth, true happiness…etc.?

You’re looking for lasting solutions to life’s challenges…for meaning underneath all the madness.

You’ve made a smart decision to take stock of your life and seek out deeper truths—and what better place for you to look than the #1 best-selling, most widely-distributed book of all time: the Holy Bible.

But what kind of book is the Bible? It can be daunting to figure out how or where to start.

It’s true, the Bible is a rich, diverse, but admittedly complex collection of 66 books, written over thousands of years, by all sorts of different authors. It’s an important book that has shaped major parts of history—and it can help you find meaning, guidance, and insight as you get to know more about God, the Creator of the Universe, and His plan for you.

And you don’t have to go it alone!

We, too, sought after those answers.

Answers solely based on the Bible. Answers that shed new light on the struggles we encounter. Answers that provide hope that yes, someday everything really will be all right! (see Revelation 21:4)

Because we have this hope, we can’t help but want to share it!

When it comes to studying the Bible, all of its complexity doesn’t have to deter you from diving right in. In fact, it can be downright exciting!

The very roots of the Seventh-day Adventist Church grew from the desire for a deeper look at Scripture, regardless of what the culture or traditions of the time dictate. Our pioneers wanted the truth—they wanted to find the real meaning beneath the pettiness and the mundane, beneath the turmoil and the randomness of life. They wanted to understand how to properly apply the Bible to their daily lives.

And just as that motivated group of Christians was searching for answers way back then, people like you are still diligently searching today. Beginning a Bible study can be daunting, but you can do it! If you need guidance, we’re here for you.

After all, the Bible was written by both commoners and kings. It was written by prophets in the thick of the action… as well as curious bystanders, both rich and poor, all eager to document any details they possibly could.

God’s Word is for anyone and everyone—not only for clergy or elite scholars! You can understand the Bible and benefit from the powerful principles within it.

Whether you’ve read the Bible before, tried to read it before…or even if you’ve never actually opened it, take comfort in the fact that you’re asking the right questions. You’re in the right place.

We’re here to help you establish a meaningful and manageable process of discovery into what the Bible can tell you about God and how He can deeply affect your life.
