Bible Studies for Life: Adults - Updates and Features
The Bible study you know and love will soon be even better.
Starting in Fall 2026, Bible Studies for Life Adults will be based on the Levels of Biblical Learning.® This new approach invites Christians to experience life through a biblical lens, basing every thought, attitude, and action on the truth of God’s Word—intentionally moving adults to become faithful followers of Jesus. Every session is designed to be G.R.E.A.T.: Grounded, Relational, Effective, Age-Appropriate, and Trustworthy.
