What Is A Church Bible Study?
Bible study is the study of the Bible by individuals as a personal religious or spiritual practice in Christian societies. Many Christian traditions refer to Bible study and Christian prayer as doing devotions or devotional acts, which are acts that are performed in the name of God. Many Christian churches set aside time each week for their members to participate in Bible study together.

Bible Studies For Boosting The Church
Before you add anything to your Bible study, you should double-check that you aren't committing any of the typical blunders that cause attendance to be poor in the first place.
Do not treat your Bible study as if it were a tiny group of people. In many churches, Bible studies and small group Bible studies are treated as interchangeable terms—regular social gatherings where Christians can talk about their lives and share their faith (and maybe the Bible). This is referred to as a "small group." The focus of a Bible study is on the text.
A Bible study is focused on a specific topic. A Bible study educates and instructs individuals. Consider the following scenario: Learning how to study the Bible and prepare a Bible study is analogous to receiving personal training on how to exercise. A small group is analogous to going to the gym and incorporating what you learn into your daily routine.
People who are seeking to learn God's word will find the meeting to be too fluffy and sociable in their opinion. People who are interested in fostering a sense of community will find the meeting to be too formal and cerebral. Maintain the intimacy of your small group. Maintain the focus of your bible study on the Bible, and make it a topical bible study. If you do so, you will see an increase in attendance at both events.
Don't restrict your Bible study themes to a particular book of the Bible. Consider the following method for reducing your Bible study attendance by half: "The book of Romans" could be the title of your Bible study. It will appeal to all of the more cerebral individuals. No one else is going to show up. This does not rule out the possibility of doing a Bible study on the book of Romans.
People will be interested in this Bible study topic because they are interested in having something of worth added to their lives. People will be interested if you can demonstrate the importance of what you're studying by being precise about what you'll be studying—even if you're looking for ways to re-engage your church membership.
Provide refreshments and snacks for participants. Many Bible study organizers want to make Bible study as unappealing as possible for their participants. "Show up and be counted. Study. Don't look someone in the eyes. Don't eat anything. "Do not consume alcoholic beverages."
The vast majority of Bible studies are appealing to robots rather than real, flesh-and-blood human beings. If the Bible is worth learning, then it is also worth appealing to those who are studying it. Get yourself a fruit platter. Get some plates. Take forks and knives and put them away. Get yourself a small meat and cheese dish. Make your Bible study lesson more interesting by incorporating games and activities. Make a big deal out of your weekly cheese platter. Bible study attendance increases as a result of increased interest and publicity.
Conclusion
FBC can develop a healthy culture of handling financial and personal difficulties that are based on Bible studies and geared toward assisting individuals in achieving financial independence and becoming more generous with their resources.
