The Community

formerly Cru.Comm, is a small group Bible study curriculum designed with a logical progression, that in the course of 3-4 years, could take a new Christian, ground them in the basics of the faith and grow them into a Christ-centered laborer.

Each of the over 100 studies in The Community presents classic, transferable Cru teaching through a distinctively redemptive lens, in a way that is easy to use in a dynamic, interactive small group community. Each study is designed to first teach the leader the passage and then provide them with questions they can use to lead their group through a process of self-discovered learning.

Below is the complete content of The Community, each study and article free to download. You'll find the content arranged by level, from Basic to the more advanced. You'll find: the name of the study, the topic, the passage, the Study Guide, and the article (listed by name).
