At FBC we think it is vitally important for you to find, attend, and involve
yourself in a Bible Study. Without the small group experience, relationships,
and Bible teaching in Bible Study, you will find it next to impossible to find
your place to belong at FBC. First Baptist 
Lewisville’s
Bible Study ministry has a lot less to do with “Sunday”, and it
certainly isn’t “School.” So, we’ve created a ministry
where the name defines and emphasizes what it does—Bible Study! We believe
a small group Bible Study is the very core of a believer’s growth as a
Christian. Here’s what you’ll find in Bible Study:
Bible teaching
Community
Encouragement
An opportunity to grow spiritually
Could you define your terms? When you refer to small
groups or large groups, Master-taught, curriculum-based, what do you mean?
Small group: 12 people or less; Medium group: 13-25 people; Large group:
25 people or greater; Master-taught: This method usually consists of one teacher
who lectures a class. Some interaction occurs, but is minimal; Curriculum-based:
The teacher of the class uses the Bible and supplemental literature to derive
the lesson being taught. Most literatures have Bible background, interactive
questions, and application. The literatures most used at FBC are:
Lifeway (Family Study series and Explore the Bible)
Bible Study for Texas (Baptist Way)
Smyth and Helwys (Formations Series)
Teacher-created lesson: In this case, teachers have used many helps in order
to create a personalized lesson for their class. For each lesson the Bible is
the beginning point and other helps are used in addendum.
What are the Bible Study times?
We offer 3 hours of Bible Study on Sunday mornings - so you have three Bible
Study options. We encourage you to find a group that you can connect with and
can study the Bible alongside. The times are 8:00,
9:30 and 11:00am.

Are there age group options at all hours?
We have worked hard to have fully age-graded options at all hours. Click on
the "time" links above to see each hour’s Bible Study description.
Can I just show up?
We invite you to “just show up” on a Sunday morning and visit our
Welcome Center where a volunteer will give you options and help you find a Bible
Study class. Don’t miss this opportunity to belong!
Is there a place for my children?
Newborns through college age all have great Bible Study options. We have wonderful
ministries for preschoolers, children, and students where they will study Biblical
truths while interacting with others their age and creating meaningful relationships.
Each class is led by adults trained to teach with all the care and concern your
child needs. The student ministry (7-12th grades) meet for Bible Study at 9:30
and 11:00 am. College students meet for Bible Study at 9:30 am.
As a guest, will I be expected or forced to do anything?
No. We want your experience to be a great one without any high-pressure sales.
We’ll ask you to trust us with some information on a visitor card (filling
it out is up to you) so we can follow-up with you later. There’s no mandatory
dress code, Scripture memorization or tests—it’s simply a place
for you to learn the Bible, life application and build relationships.

You’ll connect
