Bible Study Groups

GradCru Bible Study groups are intentionally designed for a close examination of Scripture with an emphasis on applications relevant to your life and concerns as a graduate student — which are VERY different from those of an undergrad or those out of school at church. Grad school is a unique subculture, unlike any other in life.

No prior group experience is needed. No homework is required (you have enough to do). Group members usually come from a variety of spiritual backgrounds and have different levels of spiritual development. During the fall and winter semesters we have separate groups for men and women. Groups aren’t “drop-in”, but are set up according to member’s schedule availability. Each men’s group has two men co-leaders and each women’s groups has two women co-leaders. During the summer GradCru offers one combined group for everyone who is in Ann Arbor.

During the Fall and Winter Semesters 2018-19 all the GradCru groups will read and discuss the New Testament book of Philippians.

We are excited for these groups! Groups meet for 90 minutes, typically 7:30 to 9:00 pm (some groups start a little earlier and some a little later). We want our time together to be open, discussion-oriented, practical, and Bible-based. It’s a great place to make friends, be a part of a caring community, pray together, share with each other about what’s happening in life, and be equipped to minister more effectively to others.

International grad students are welcome to join any of our groups (many do), but most years we also offer groups specifically designed for International graduate students. These groups use English and usually cover the same content as the other groups.

Last academic year more than 90 grads joined a GradCru Bible Study group. We encourage you to make your spiritual growth a priority this coming year. Click on one of the links below to tell us a little about yourself and give us your schedule availability. We’ll get back to you with details.

• Want to join a Women’s Bible Study group: CLICK HERE to open a short form to email us your contact information and schedule preferences. We hope to reply back to you soon about the women’s groups that are forming.

Investigative Bible Discussion Groups:

If you don’t consider yourself a Christian (a follower of Jesus) at this time, but are interested to discuss the Bible and learn more about Christianity with others, we also have groups for those who would like to investigate the Bible, Jesus Christ, and Christianity. CLICK HERE for more information about the GradCru Investigative Bible Discussion groups.
