Bible study groups
Faith discussion gatherings
Bible study groups are gatherings where people meet regularly to read and discuss scripture, typically focusing on particular books or themes from the Bible.
These groups range from informal living-room circles to structured church programs, combining religious education with community fellowship: She joined a Bible study group at her neighbor's house.
The format usually involves reading passages aloud, sharing interpretations, and applying lessons to daily life.
