About Bible Study App

What Bible Study App is and how it is designed to be used.

What is the Bible Study App?+

The Bible Study App is first and foremost a tool for studying Scripture. It is designed to help individuals study the Bible deeply while also giving families, churches, ministries, schools, small groups, and other Communities tools to study together.

You can read Scripture, compare translations, research words, take notes, highlight passages, save bookmarks, participate in Communities, and work through lessons created by the leaders you choose to study with.

The Bible Study App is designed to support pastors, teachers, ministry leaders, professors, small-group leaders, families, and individual believers rather than replace them.

How much does Bible Study App cost?+

The Bible Study App is free.

Our goal is to make powerful Bible study, lesson, and Community tools accessible to individuals, families, churches, ministries, teachers, students, and study groups.

Can I use the Bible Study App for personal Bible study?+

Yes. Personal Bible study is one of the primary purposes of the platform.

Your personal Study Space allows you to read Scripture, compare translations, study words, highlight and underline passages, write notes, create bookmarks, and return to your reading history.

Can the Bible Study App also be used with other people?+

Yes. The Bible Study App includes Communities and lessons so friends, families, Bible-study groups, churches, ministries, classes, cohorts, and other groups can study Scripture together while maintaining their own group identity and leadership.

What is a Study Space?+

A Study Space is the context in which you are studying.

Your personal Bible study can have its own notes, bookmarks, Scripture location, and study activity. A lesson can have a separate Study Space connected specifically to that lesson, including its own Bible context, discussion, notes, and supporting material.

This helps keep your personal study from being disrupted when you enter a class, group lesson, or other guided study experience.

Bible Study App Tools

Reading, research, translations, notes, and deeper study.

Which Bible translations are available?+

The Bible Study App supports multiple Bible translations so you can compare how passages are rendered and choose the versions you prefer for regular study.

Current configured translations include KJV, CSB, NLT, NIrV, NKJV, MSG, NIV, AMP, and NASB. Additional translation support, including ESV, is planned as licensing and access allow.

Can I choose my preferred Bible translations?+

Yes. You can choose your preferred translations in Settings, including your top three versions for convenient access while reading and studying.

Can I study Hebrew and Greek?+

The Bible Study App is being built to support deeper original-language study, including Hebrew and Greek word information connected to Scripture.

Original-language tools are intended to help you investigate the words behind the English text and connect that research with other study resources.

Does the Bible Study App include word definitions?+

Yes. The Bible Study App includes word-study tools that can help you investigate English definitions and, where available, supporting biblical-language and Strong's information.

Can I take notes and highlight Scripture?+

Yes. The Bible Study App supports study notes, highlights, bookmarks, and other tools designed to help you build an ongoing record of your study.

Can I return to passages I studied before?+

Yes. Reading history and bookmarks help you return to Scripture passages and study material you have previously visited.

Communities

How churches, ministries, classes, families, and groups study together.

What are Communities?+

Communities are private group spaces where people can study Scripture, communicate, share information, and participate in lessons together.

A Community might represent a church, ministry, Sunday-school class, university group, family, Bible-study group, cohort, or other organization.

Are Communities public social-media groups?+

No.

Communities are designed around intentional membership rather than functioning as a public social feed. People join through invitations or membership requests according to the Community's settings and leadership.

Can I belong to more than one Community?+

Yes. Your account can participate in multiple Communities, allowing you to study with different churches, ministries, classes, groups, friends, or family members from the same Bible Study App account.

Who controls a Community?+

Communities are administered by their designated owners and leaders.

Depending on their role, Community leaders can manage membership, moderators, discussions, bulletins, lessons, and other group activity.

What can a Community do?+

Communities can bring together group membership, announcements or bulletins, discussions, group communication, lessons, and lesson-specific conversations so Scripture study and group engagement can live in the same environment.

Lessons & Teaching

How pastors, teachers, professors, and leaders create learning experiences.

Who creates the lessons in the Bible Study App?+

The leaders using the Bible Study App do.

Pastors, ministry leaders, Bible-study teachers, professors, Sunday-school teachers, small-group leaders, and other authorized leaders can create lessons for the people they serve.

The Bible Study App provides the tools for creating and presenting those lessons. It is not intended to centrally dictate the curriculum every Community must teach.

Are lessons public to everyone on the Bible Study App?+

Lessons connected to Communities are designed to be shared within the context and membership of those Communities rather than automatically becoming part of a public platform-wide lesson feed.

What are Lesson Blocks?+

Lesson Blocks allow leaders to organize teaching into structured sections that can be moved through during a lesson.

This makes a lesson capable of functioning similarly to a presentation, while keeping Scripture, teaching material, and study interaction connected.

Can I present a lesson to a class or group?+

Yes. Lessons are designed so leaders can move through lesson material in a presentation-friendly format that can be shown on a screen or shared through tools such as a video meeting or classroom display.

Can a lesson have its own discussion?+

Yes. Lessons can have conversations connected directly to the lesson so questions, reflections, and discussion remain connected to the material being studied.

Doctrine & Theology of the Bible Study App

How Bible Study relates to the beliefs and teaching of your organization.

Does the Bible Study App dictate doctrine or theology?+

No.

The Bible Study App does not dictate doctrine or theology for the churches, ministries, schools, leaders, or individuals who use the platform.

We provide tools for studying Scripture, creating lessons, organizing Communities, and discussing the Bible together. The doctrine, theology, teaching perspective, curriculum, and interpretation presented within a Community remain the responsibility of that Community and its leaders.

This allows a pastor, ministry leader, professor, Bible-study teacher, small-group leader, church, school, or organization to use the Bible Study App while maintaining its own doctrinal and theological identity.

The Bible Study App does not require every Community to teach the same lessons, adopt the same theological positions, or conform to a centrally created curriculum.

We provide the study environment. Your leaders determine the doctrine, theology, and teaching presented within your Community.

Is Bible Study trying to replace my pastor, church, teacher, or ministry?+

No.

The Bible Study App is intended to provide infrastructure for ministry, not to become the ministry or supersede the people who have been entrusted with teaching and serving their communities.

We believe technology should equip ministry leaders and Bible students to do their work more effectively.

Can churches or schools maintain their own theological identity?+

Yes. The platform is designed so organizations can use common Bible study and Community tools while retaining their own leadership, lessons, teaching perspective, doctrine, and theology, subject to the platform's Terms of Service and applicable legal and safety requirements.

Privacy & Trust of the Bible Study App

What happens to personal study and Community information.

Is my personal Bible study separate from Community activity of the Bible Study App?+

Yes. Your personal study experience and the activity you choose to participate in within Communities serve different purposes. Personal notes, study activity, and Community participation should not be treated as though everything you study is automatically a public post.

Who can see what I share inside a Community?+

Content intentionally posted to a Community is shared within the context of that Community and according to the permissions and roles available there. Review the Privacy Policy for additional details about how information is processed by the service.

Does Bible Study sell my private study or Community content?+

The Bible Study App is not designed around selling your private Bible study or Community conversations as content.

For the specific legal terms governing data collection, service providers, retention, and processing, please review the Privacy Policy.

Where can I read the Privacy Policy?+

Where can I read the Terms of Service?+

What is Faith Walk?+

Can I use the same the Bible Study App account on my phone and computer?+

Which platforms does the Bible Study App support?+

The Bible Study App is designed for web access as well as mobile experiences on iOS and Android.

Can I personalize the reading experience?+

Yes. Settings include options for your preferred Bible translations, reading text size, and appearance preferences such as light, dark, or automatic themes.

Does the Bible Study App include audio Bible features?+

Audio Bible availability depends on the translation and resources available for that Bible version. Where audio is supported, it can be used alongside the reading experience.

Can I delete my account?+

Yes.

The Bible Study App provides account deletion options for users who no longer want to maintain an account. For additional information, review the Account Deletion page and the Privacy Policy.
