Want to go deeper with God?
At St James we believe that the Bible is God’s Word and that He speaks to us today through it, transforming our lives!
Study together
You may be new to studying the Bible or you may have been doing it for ages. Either way we want to encourage you in your exploration of God’s Word.
Studying the Bible on your own is fine but we think studying it together brings it alive. It allows us to ask questions and work together to find the answers. We have a couple of ways that we encourage church family to meet together to grow in their faith. Click the link below to find out more.
Resources
There are lots of resources around the help you study the Bible together. Below are the studies we have done or are currently doing at St James for you to download and use in your groups.
If you’re opening the Bible for the first time we always encourage you start with a Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) to get a picture of the life of Jesus and see what His gift to us is.
