Church Basics Bible Study Book includes small-group experiences for six sessions, individual study opportunities, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," and tips for leading a group. A leader guide is included at the back to help leaders navigate the content while developing better practices for small group leadership. 
God cares about His glory, and He wants to display His glory through the church. God's revelation, purpose, and will are perfect. However, because He's chosen to involve His people in His work, carrying out His mission includes our organization and effort. For this reason, it's imperative that we understand the basics of church. A comprehensive and rich understanding of the church, its organization, and its practices strengthens our service and ministry as the body of Christ on earth. 
Church Basics Bible Study:
- provides a biblical explanation of baptism
- explains the meaning of the Lord's Supper, how it relates to the church's life together, and who should celebrate it
- reveals that the congregation's mission is to promote and protect the gospel
- shows how church discipline demonstrates love for an individual caught in sin
- explores the roles of elders, deacons, members, and the congregation
- illustrates how God intends to fulfill the Great Commission through local churches
Individual study may be customized for the group or even for each individual. Study options include a weekly reading plan, journaling exercises, and interactive devotions. 
Session titles:
- Baptism and the Lord&;s Supper
- The Congregation&;s Authority
- Church Discipline
- Stewardship
- Church Leadership
- The Great Commission and the Church
Features:
- Biblically rooted and gospel-centered
- Leader guide at the back of each book
- Individual study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth
- Six sessions with group and personal study
Benefits:
- Give group members a better understanding of church basics for more effective ministry.
- Expose individuals to a biblical model of church that confronts more casual and even inaccurate understandings.
- Help group members understand the meaning and importance of baptism.
- Gain a transformational understanding of the Lord's Supper.
