Can I access Bible Journey content at no cost?

Yes. Thanks to the generosity of donors committed to biblical literacy, all subscriptions to the Explorer level of Bible Journey are now available at no cost! The Explorer level gives you a chance to explore more content than you will receive in seminary Old and New Testament courses, while at the same time making it engaging and allowing you to set your own learning pace.

Why is the Explorer content now free?

It has always been our vision to provide quality biblical training at no cost to meet a critical global need. The generosity of donors has allowed us to meet this need at an accelarated schedule. It is estimated that 95% of global pastors do not have formal Bible training. In most cases, training is simply inaccessible or unaffordable. We are committed to making it affordable and accessible worldwide!.

What does Bible Journey believe?

The Bible Journey courses provide an orthodox faith-based education without a denominational bias. Bible Journey is fully aligned with the Nicene Creed and the Lausanne Covenant.

How do I know if Bible Journey is right for my church or group?

The Bible Journey curriculum makes an excellent resource for small groups, churches, ministry teams, businesses and other groups, as the theologically-rich, seminary-level courses provide biblical engagement and training for leaders and lay persons alike. 

What is the structure of the Bible Journey curriculum?

Bible Journey is an in-depth Bible study program that covers the entire Bible in six studies. The six studies—three Old Testament studies and three New Testament studies—are divided into 45 individual courses, which can be studied individually or as part of the larger program. Each course has dozens of lectures, exercises, interactive features, onsite videos and more to help you dive into the Scripture and deepen your Bible knowledge.

How are the courses organized?

Courses are broken down into lessons, each of which should take about 30-45 minutes to complete. Each lesson includes three types of study: inductive observations and insights (“In the Text”), background context on the text using interactive videos and diagrams (“Behind the Text”) and discussions of the significance and implications of the Scripture for individuals, churches and contemporary culture (“In Front of the Text”).

Bible Journey courses go deeper than the standard application-based topics of many Bible studies in order to engage in a global conversation about the Bible’s claims for our lives. Bible Journey courses also feature a wide variety of media, articles and exercises to allow students to further reflect on what they’re learning and studying.

How much time does each Bible Journey course take?

If you are working through the Bible Journey program on your own, you should plan to spend about 3-6 hours per course. Your progress is saved as you work through the lessons and courses so that you can complete the studies at your own pace.

Once I begin a course, how long do I have to complete it?

You can take as much or as little time as you need on each lesson, course and study. Your progress is always saved as you move through the program so you can work at your own pace.

Do I need to complete the Bible Journey courses in order?

No. We do recommend starting from the beginning of the Old Testament or New Testament, as the courses do build on each other. However, each Bible Journey study can stand alone as well, so you can tailor the program to meet your needs. Within each study, it makes sense to complete the courses in order, as it will help you understand the structure, flow, context and relevance of each section of Scripture more easily.

If you’re planning on doing the entire study—or the entire program—we recommend you complete it in order.

Can I use Bible Journey with a small group at my church or within my ministry team?

Yes! Many small groups and ministry teams find that going through the Bible Journey curriculum together is a rich experience. We also offer Leader Guides, Resource Packs and fillable Workbooks to help leaders use Bible Journey effectively with their group.

Are there any certifications available with the Bible Journey curriculum?

Yes! Certification options include both self-directed and coached Certificates.

Can I try Bible Journey without risk?

Yes! Thanks to the support of our donor base, the Explorer version oof Bible Journey is completely free!

Do I need to purchase any other resources to complete the Bible Journey curriculum?

No! The Bible Journey curriculum stands alone, so you’ll have everything you need within each course to study the Bible thoroughly. Most students prefer to have a study Bible as they work through the courses. In addition, the Bible Journey Workbooks (included with the course curriculum) are downloadable as a fillable PDF workbook, which some students prefer for note-taking.

Leader Guides and Resource Packs are also available for a small fee which helps sustain our platform.

How much do Bible Journey courses cost?
