45 Best Video Small Group Bible Studies


For most of us, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have been exacerbated by separation from groups of people. Studying the Bible with a small group, whether accomplished through a Zoom meeting, or with social distancing in place, presents an ideal opportunity to come together as a community to share and learn together. SignUpGenius integrates with Zoom so you can include your meeting link directly in your sign up.
