Bible Studies

Campus Bible Study

Campus Ministries offers an eight-week Bible study each semester written specifically for the Calvin community that aligns with Wednesday chapel sermons. Students, staff, and faculty are invited to be a part by either leading or being in a group. There's no homework required!

Stay tuned for the Fall 2026 study on "Encountering Jesus: A Study through the Book of Luke." Most groups will begin the week of September 13. Curriculum will be posted as PDFs to this page by late August.
