FAQs about Sunday morning Bible Study

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.
