Bible Studies for Families

Studying the Bible with your kids is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Discipleship happens in plenty of other places too. It happens in the car, at the dinner table, at bedtime, and in how you handle a rough day, and all of that matters. Bible study holds a special place among those rhythms because it puts God’s own words in front of your kids and lets Him do the talking. Scripture shapes how your children see God, themselves, and the world, and it gives every other conversation you have with them something solid to stand on. God’s Word carries the power, and your part is to open it with your kids and read it together. These free family Bible studies make that 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 are just getting started or looking for your next series, pick a study, open your Bible, and trust Jesus to work in your kids’ lives.
