BemaBuilder Groups

Self Study

Let's face it - some people just aren't "group people." They prefer to study God's Word alone (just them and the Holy Spirit). That's fine!

If that is you, don't feel pressured to join or start a group. BB curriculum will work just fine for you. Simply purchase a Study Guide, establish a regular routine for yourself, and begin.

If you change your mind later and want someone to discuss what you are learning with, join or start a group of your own.

In-Person Groups

There is no "official BB Group" - it's your group! It may be a small group of family, friends or fellow church members. Or it may be your whole church congregation on Wednesday or Sunday nights or ...

You decide (who, when, how, frequency, etc. etc.).

Want to visit each other's homes? Great!

Mix it with a potluck? Even better! (If you ask me...)

The BB Curriculum path will work many different ways. The required time to watch each session is shown next to the video link. The various sessions (in the original format) last from 30-90 minutes. Optional group-based formats are also available with +/- 30-minute video sessions to allow for group discussion. Streaming or downloadable audio formats are provided for those who wish to listen rather than watch the video. The content is identical across all format options. (Note: It is a good idea for the group leader to watch the video at least once before the group meeting.)

Depending on how long and how often you meet, the "curriculum plan" each year could take substantially less than a year - or not. It should allow for plenty of breaks for holidays, summer vacations, etc. You decide what works best for you and your group.

Electronic Meetings

You may wish to host or join an electronic meeting such as Zoom. This can easily be done using Zoom's "share screen" feature. Everyone can watch the video at the same time and even "break into discussion groups" along the way if you wish. This is ideal for people who can't attend an in-person meeting but wants to have a discussion group for support and clarification along the way.

Simply decide who will be the host, what "rules" your group wishes to operate under, purchase your own workbooks and get started!

It is BemaBuilders hope and plan to provide some such meetings on a regular basis in the near future. Contact us if you would like to join our meeting when the time comes.
