Discipleship Cliff

Studying the Bible with your kids is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. It doesn’t have to be complicated, and you don’t have to be a Bible scholar to lead it. These free family Bible studies are designed to make it simple. Each series works through a book of the Bible, one passage at a time, with a short devotional, discussion questions your kids will actually engage with, and a family activity to bring it home. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for your next series, you’re in the right place. Pick a study, open your Bible, and trust Jesus to work in your kids’ lives.
