WHY SHOULD YOU EXPLORE THE BIBLE?
KNOW GOD’S TRUTH
To know God’s Truth is to understand that every book matters. Explore the Bible is designed to illuminate the historical, cultural, and biblical context of Scripture. Book by book, we help adults, students, and kids understand and apply God’s Word in a manner that is repeatable, thorough, and age-appropriate.
LOVE GOD’S TRUTH
When you encounter God’s Word again and again, it doesn’t just inform—it transforms. Explore the Bible builds on the belief that when you study the Word, you grow in your love of it. As that love grows, it builds a lifelong holy passion for the Word.
INVEST IN GOD’S TRUTH
To know and love God’s truth is to live it. Explore the Bible helps adults, students, and kids to build community around God’s Word. But more than that, it equips the whole church to carry God’s truth into their schools, workplaces, communities, and around the world in pursuit of those people who do not yet know it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does Explore the Bible believe about Scripture?
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of the Living God, and the primary method by which He speaks to us, reveals His character, tells us what He’s done for us, and shows us how we should, in turn, live.
Is every age group on the same study plan?
Each age group will utilize a study plan that is best for them. Explore the Bible is aligned by approach in that each age group touches all 66 Bible books over time, but will do so in a way and duration that is appropriate for that age-group.

Explore the Bible approaches the study of God’s Word one book at a time to study all 66 books of Scripture and provide a balanced view of all Scripture. The adult plan alternates between Old and New Testament books over a nine-year cycle, following the canon, reflecting input from 350 ministry leaders. The Students and Kids plan will alternate between Old and New Testament books to study all 66 books over a three-year study cycle and will include books from each genre of Scripture every year.

What about kids? They can't spend 13 weeks in the Minor Prophets.
We agree! But we also believe that kids can still be taught every book of the Bible. Explore the Bible Kids has developed a unique study plan for babies through older kids that covers all 66 books of the Bible at an appropriate depth and pace.
