Beroean Christian Zoom Bible Studies provide a flexible, online space for honest, Scripture-focused exploration and Christ-centered fellowship, open to all seeking deeper understanding and spiritual growth.
Deepen your faith through Asynchronous Bible Courses that encourage independent, Scripture-based study in the noble-minded spirit of Acts 17:10–12.
The Beroean Christians are a network of fellow believers committed to helping individuals study the Bible deeply and meaningfully, free from the constraints of organized religious systems or man-made doctrines. Inspired by the noble-minded approach of the Beroeans in Acts 17:10-12, who diligently examined the Scriptures before accepting teachings, they aim to cultivate a similar spirit of honest exploration and spiritual growth. Their activities include contextual, topical, and one-on-one Bible study sessions, as well as fellowship meetings that support those transitioning away from traditional religious institutions. Current groups include a women’s group and a support group for those seeking a fresh start in their faith journey. They emphasize humility, acknowledging that no one has full knowledge of the Bible, and encourage a lifelong relationship with God and Jesus Christ. Upholding the Bible's accessibility to all, the Beroean Christians invite others to form small, home-based study groups, fostering community, personal faith development, and a Christ-centered life that brings praise to God.
Our main goal is to help everyone study the Bible. In order to do this, we have a range of meetings at different times and days.
These are increasing as the numbers grow. The meeting formats can be as follows:
A. Reading and studying the Bible contextually
B. Reading and studying the Bible topically
C. Reading and studying the Bible on a one-to-one basis
D. Fellowship meetings to support people leaving organised religious systems
We currently have a women's group and a support group for those leaving organised religious systems.
These are opportunities to listen to various experiences and to share personal experience and to help people realise that their faith journey can start over again.
We do not promote human creeds or doctrines, neither do we claim inspiration or any special knowledge. As imperfect humans we humbly acknowledge that none of us have a complete knowledge of the Bible. All of us are on a lifelong journey of learning and growing in a relationship with our Heavenly Father and author of the Bible and his only begotten Son Jesus. We believe that the Bible should be made accessible for all who have an interest in exploring its contents, as its message is for all people.
The term Christian was first used in the Syrian city of Antioch (Acts 11:26) to identify the followers of Jesus. This term is used twice more in the Bible, in Acts 26:28 and 1 Peter 4:16. It is translated from the Greek word 'Christianos' (Strong's G5546). This derives from the Greek word 'Christ' (Strongs G5547) which means the anointed one. Hence the term Christian meant the followers of the Christ (Jesus). Today 2.4 billion people identify as Christian, making up approximately 31% of the population on earth according to Pew Research Center's chart for Religious Composition by country, 2010-2025.
All denominations of Christians agree that 66 boks in the Bible are inspired of God. Some denominations have additional books but the 66 can be viewed as 'core' books that make up the inspired canon of scripture. In Acts 17:10-12, the people at Beroea in Greece are referas 'noble-minded' (eugenés, Strong's G2104) in their diligent and eager approach to studying the scriptures. After they researched and made certain of the teachings, they accepted them, and their lives took a new path.
Finally, we would like to encourage those who are interested in forming small groups in their homes to meet regularly to study and fellowship together. The Biblical method is mentioned in Acts 2:42, 46-47.
We can provide the scriptural guidelines on how to do this and also share how the various groups are currently managing these fellowship meetings. The purpose of these groups should be to grow in the faith and to reflect the light of Jesus to all in the local community and thereby bring praise to our Lord and his Father.
