Step 1
Contact your friends, relatives, and co-workers and tell them that you're starting a Bible study group. Ask them if they are interested and if so, if they are willing and able to devote an hour a day for however many days a week you wish to meet.
-
Step 2
Schedule certain times each day for your group to meet and inform the members of these days. Print out schedules and hand them out to the Bible study group. On the schedules, list the address of the place the meeting will be held, which books of the Bible you will be studying on what days and other things that you might do, such as attend a church event.
-
Step 3
Meet with your group and explain that you will be studying one book of the Bible at a time. You can go in order or you can mix it up. Studying one book at a time can help prevent confusion and mix ups when memorizing verses.
-
Step 4
Study 3 to 4 verses a week and have the group create questions to ask one another out loud about the specific verses. The group may talk freely about each verse. Recite the verses together out loud and then have the members try to recite the verses out loud by themselves. Don't let anyone become discouraged if he cannot remember a verse word for word. Ask him to look back at the verse and try again.

Step 5
Put up flyers and send out bulletins to inform everyone of the Bible study group. You may even give it a name. Post flyers in churches, at parks, or stores (ask the owner's permission first). Ask members to spread the word as word-of-mouth is a very effective form of advertising.
