Frequently Asked Questions

The BeADisciple Study App

The Basics

The BeADisciple Study App is an ecumenical Christian platform that provides all resources necessary for participation in meaningful small-group study.

Your purchase includes all study content, the complete Common English Bible (CEB), videos, and other course materials. Just as important are the ways this digital study can connect group members as they grow in their faith: a weekly Zoom meeting, prayer requests, group discussions, and other faith-building tools. The app offers a remedy to the post-pandemic disconnect many people now feel with their churches, allowing them to rebuild engagement from their homes or even while traveling.

The app contains all the resources you will need for your selected study, including all the study text, the complete Common English Bible (CEB), videos, and commentaries. If you purchase a leader package, it also includes all of the leader guide materials. The app also takes care of logistical tasks creating a group roster and can help you set reminders and easily connect to the live group Zoom meetings.

The app is free! After you download it, you will be able to browse available studies for purchase.

The cost is comparable to what you would spend on typical material for an in-person study with hard-copy curriculum.  Prices vary by study — see the Available Studies for more information.

That depends on which study you choose. Details about expected time commitments can be found by browsing the studies available on the app.

The app will help direct you to your group. Some groups will be private, formed by leaders that will be available only by invitation. Other groups will be open-registration, meaning anyone can join them. Leaders get to choose whether their group is open or private, and are responsible for recruiting their own core group members to reach study minimums.

As part of the registration process you will have the option of signing up with a specific leader (you’ll need a code provided to you by that leader). Otherwise, you can request placement in an open-registration group with leaders and members from anywhere in the world.

Yes, you can take part in multiple groups at the same time. Some studies have more extensive reading or response requirements, so you will need to gauge your own ability to keep up with these requirements in order to participate meaningfully in each group.

Your own schedule is the only limit on the number of study groups you can lead simultaneously. Each group has a weekly meeting, so you will need to have time to prepare for these and be familiar with the material.

Yes, you have the option to have two leaders, and many find it a fun and convenient way to share responsibilities. Many also choose to lead solo.
