Join a Bible Study
Study With Your Tradition
Eastern Catholic and Orthodox priests often lack the institutional resources available to Roman Catholic clergy. Many work outside the church to support their families. By joining a Scripture study led by a priest, your participation directly compensates them for their service and spiritual leadership.
Why Join?
Scripture study isn't just about learning. It's about deepening your faith through guided exploration of Scripture with trained spiritual leaders — while supporting the priests who serve your community.
You'll Experience:
- Authentic Eastern Christian Teaching — Learn Scripture through the lens of ancient Eastern theology, liturgical tradition, and patristic wisdom.
- Real Community — Study with other believers seeking to grow in faith and understanding of their tradition.
- Guided Spiritual Formation — Work with experienced priests and deacons who understand your journey.
- Sacred Tradition — Discover how the early church and Eastern Christian thinkers understood Scripture, applied to your life today.
A Word About Eastern Church Priests: Unlike the Roman Catholic Church, which provides institutional retirement and financial support, Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches often operate with limited resources. Many priests rely on additional income to support their families and continue their ministry after retirement. Your participation in these Bible studies directly compensates the priests leading them, enabling them to continue serving as teachers, mentors, and spiritual guides.
Our Study Topics
- Marriage and relationships — strengthen your marriage through Scripture
- Hesychasm — contemplative prayer and finding peace in God
- Character studies — biblical figures and their spiritual lessons
- Prayer and spiritual formation — deepen your prayer life
- Understanding God's plan in difficult times — faith during trials
- Masculinity and manhood in today's world — what Scripture teaches about authentic manhood
When we have sufficient interest in a topic, we consult with Eastern priests and deacons to lead the study. All clergy who participate are compensated for their time and expertise.
About Our Mission
The Eastern Church has always treasured Scripture study as essential to spiritual growth. Our mission is to make that ancient practice accessible to modern believers — while ensuring that the priests and deacons who serve as guides are honored and supported for their labor. Whether Catholic or Orthodox, these spiritual leaders deserve to be compensated for the knowledge, wisdom, and care they bring to your formation.
When you join a Bible study, you're investing in both your own spiritual journey and in the ministry of Eastern Christian priests.
