How To Start A Bible Study Group In Carry
In today’s video I’m going to show you how start your first online Bible study group in Carry, step-by-step. Let’s get started!
What is a Carry Bible study group?
A Carry Bible study group is a space where your members of your online ministry to stay connected, study the Bible together & grow closer to God in community, every day of the week in the Carry app. Without online groups, your online ministry will struggle to create strong community for your members - leading to low and engagement, and often to members leaving. So let’s jump right in on.
How to start a Bible study group in Carry
The first step is to starting your group is to create a study. The study is what your group members will read, discuss & engage with together, throughout the week in the app.
- To do that, go to our free 7-day Bible Study Generator
- From here, I can use this tool to turn a YouTube sermon into a 7-day Bible study - based on the themes and topics in that sermon.
- To do that, I simply find the YouTube link to the my churches most recent sermon (or another churches sermon that I like).
- Then click on the 'Share' button → copy the link of that sermon → and paste that link in the field on the homepage of Carry. I then tap “Create 7-day study”.
