We created mini-studies (which are updated regularly) for people to try BSF before they visit or join a group. You can find them at bsfinternational.org/try-bsf/. They can also download the BSF App at bsfinternational.org/app. Thank you for sharing BSF with your friends!

Please give that information to your current group leader or class administrator. If you do not have their contact information, you may message them through your class webpage by searching find-a-group: bsfinternational.org/find-a-group/.

BSF material uses the New International Version in its biblical references. However, we invite and encourage members to use the Bible translation with which they are most comfortable.

BSF provides Chinese and Spanish materials to members in some classes. In addition, many BSF classes have Discussion Groups in a number of local languages. Contact your nearest class to check on their availability.

Generally, each study begins in September. However, each country is different, so please contact your local class to get the exact start date. You can get information about your specific group’s meeting date, time and place on your class’s webpage, which you can find at bsfinternational.org/find-a-group/
