Open Bible Study

Every Sunday | 9:30 am ET | MLK 316 and Zoom

Open Bible Study is expanding its reach! For decades, Open Bible Study has been an integral part of Education at Riverside, convening in person on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am to delve into the lectionary text of the day.

Now, starting Sunday, February 18, 2024 we’re thrilled to announce the launch of a digital Open Bible Study in the virtual realm! Rev. Colleen Birchett and other on-site teachers will continue to facilitate Open Bible Study in person in MLK 316. Additionally, Rev. Jim Keat will lead an online-only Open Bible Study via Zoom.

With one text, we’re offering two classes to cater to the diverse needs of our entire congregation. Join us as we embark on this new chapter of Open Bible Study!

Open Bible Study is a space where people can learn something new about the Bible and discuss the ways this ancient text continues to echo in our world and lives today. This is a space to open our minds to new ideas and ways of seeing the Bible, our world, and ourselves. The group is open to all and a safe space open to all ideas and questions, so long as they are shared with love.

Participate in Open Bible Study to look at the texts that will be preached that Sunday as we pray, study scripture, and check in with one another. This class takes place each Sunday morning before worship. Contact Education at education@trcnyc.org for more information.
