It is a commitment of three to four hours a week of independent study and preparation, plus two and one-half hours each week for up to thirty-four weeks in weekly group meetings. Through Disciple Bible Study you will grow in spirit and in discipline while forming strong bonds of Christian fellowship with your fellow students.
