Four-Fold Approach

The Bible Study Fellowship experience is more than a class. It is a daily opportunity to interact with the text of the Bible. From the first class, BSF has used a four-fold method to help people better understand the context and applications of what they are studying.

The Four-Fold Approach factors in:

 
     Personal Study                            Group Discussion  
 
  
     Relevant Lecture                           Enriching Notes    

 

During the week leading up to a BSF Class, members are encouraged to work through study questions. When they arrive at their class, members join with their weekly discussion groups for lively conversation based on insights from their daily studies.

The teaching leader then lectures on the passage, helping class members delve even further into their understanding of the passage. The week's lesson wraps up with a set of teaching notes to take home. These notes summarize the passage, helping to enrich the members' understanding and application.

And then the Four-Fold Approach begins again!
