Ministry to students by students! This is one of the earliest and consistent values InterVarsity Canada has held over its history of ministry to students and you, as a student of influence, are stepping into this rich history of innovation, leadership, and faithfulness to help others encounter the transforming love of Jesus. We hope these resources will be a gift and guide to you as you serve. Thank you and bless you for the love you are putting into action. Please don’t hesitate to reach out there are any ways that we can help support your group on campus.

Building Your Own Bible Study

We believe that one of the most powerful ways of studying God’s Word is to simply build your own Bible study from scratch. Here’s how you do it: simply focus on a passage of Scripture, don’t bring any particular agenda, and let the Word of God speak for itself. We call this an InterVarsity-Style Inductive Bible Study and for decades, students and faculty have been leading this method of scripture study to help their friends meet God and be transformed by God’s word.

Pacing Templates for Bible Study

When you first start leading Bible study for others, it can be tricky to know how to allot your time. (Let’s be honest, it’s also difficult for those with experience leading.) This resource contains four templates for how to pace your study, depending on how much time you have: 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, or 3 hours.
