Summertime welcomes new opportunities to host a fun Bible study with friends or neighbors. Church groups often take a break during the summer and changes in family schedules can create new spaces to dig into the truths of Scripture. Whether you keep it extra simple on the back porch or go all out with fun themes—God will show up in special ways throughout the summer months.
Create a simple and easy calendar of meetings with these easy ideas:
- Meet up for study discussion at the park with moms and kids.
- Invite a coworker who would like to meet on lunch break.
- Gather your walking pals and get those steps in while chatting about the study.
- Offer to host a porch study that rotates homes for morning coffee or evening dessert.
Summer study opportunities don’t have to be exhausting to be encouraging. Check out the studies below and find the right Bible studies for summer.

As you walk through the study, you’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don’t just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.
