Free Online Bible Study Courses
(Bite-Sized Bible)

Do you long to dig deeper into Scripture? But maybe you feel short on time, energy, or budget. Then we have the solution for you! These free online Bible study courses are designed with you in mind.

We call them Bite-Sized Bible courses. Why? Because they are short, value-packed courses that will teach you the Bible.

Each Bite-Sized Bible course lets you move at your own pace. Here's the cool thing. You'll still tackle the text in a meaningful, structured way. Our goal is to help you open your Bible with confidence.

Each Bite-Sized Bible lesson walks you through key passages. Along the way, it offers clear explanation and points you back to real-life obedience and worship.

Whether you are new to Bible study or have walked with Christ for decades, these short, focused studies can refresh your understanding and re-ignite your joy in God’s Word.

What Makes These Courses “Free Online Bible Study Courses”?

When you hear “free online Bible study courses,” you might picture a huge academic program. Perhaps it conjures up images of multiple semesters, thick textbooks, and tests.

That isn't Bite-Sized Bible courses.

Don't get me wrong. Colleges and seminaries can be valuable for some people sometimes. But what many Christians crave and really learn from is clear, trustworthy, bite-sized teaching they can fit into normal life.

Deep learning is learned at church from your pastor and Sunday school teachers. Here, we want to make it as simple as possible. Your life is busy. We want to help.

What Do These Free Online Bible Study Courses Offer?

These mini-courses are:

• Free of charge: No tuition, no paywall, and no upsell required to finish the lessons.
• Fully online: Access lessons anytime from your phone, tablet, or computer.
• Bible-centered: Each course starts with Scripture and builds from there, not from trends or speculation.
• Short and focused: Most are three-lesson minicourses on a single, well-defined question or theme.
• Self-paced: Work through the material as slowly or as quickly as you need.

Simple, right? We hope so!

Mini Courses

“When Was the Earth Created?”

This Bite-Sized Bible course takes you into the opening chapters of Genesis and the larger storyline of Scripture. You'll be asked to consider how and when God created the world.

Rather than chasing every controversy, this course keeps bringing you back to what the Bible actually says. It focuses on what it clearly teaches and how that should shape your worship, humility, and worldview.

Across three lessons, you will:

• Walk through Genesis 1–2 with attention to context, wording, and structure.
• Consider different Christian views on the age of the earth while holding firmly to biblical authority.
• Reflect on why God’s power, wisdom, and goodness in creation matter for your daily life.

What's the benefit of taking this course? You'll better understand what Scripture emphasizes about creation and find greater confidence in God as your Creator and Lord.

“What Is the Great Commission?”

This free online Bible study course focuses on Jesus’ Great Commission and what it means for every believer. It's not just for missionaries and pastors.

The three lessons will help you:

• Understand the biblical context and wording of the Great Commission.
• See how making disciples connects to evangelism, teaching, baptism, and everyday obedience.
• Identify practical ways you can participate in Christ’s mission right where you live.

If you have ever wondered, “What exactly does Jesus expect of me here?” this course is designed to bring clarity, conviction, and encouragement.
