How to Start a Q Place

How to Start a QPlace In a post-modern culture, how can Christ-followers be effective witnesses for Jesus? What approach will appeal to people who aren’t interested in church or the Bible?

Discover how to have natural, ongoing spiritual conversations with people in a Q Place. Learn how discussions based on tough questions about God can raise interest in studying the Bible and heighten curiosity about Jesus.

This book explains the Q Place method and ministry and will give you the practical tools and confidence to launch your own Q Place. It is also designed as a discussion guide for small groups of potential initiators who can support one another and become equipped together as they apply its content.

Starting Small Group Discussion Bible Studies

If you wish to start a small group Bible study, here are steps to take:

  • Consultation and NBS training available in these areas:
    1. Starting and growing small groups for Bible study
    2. Using inductive Bible study guides
    3. Building bridges of friendship in our communities and work places
    4. Understanding small group dynamics and leadership
    5. Applying adult educational theory
The Gospel of Mark is recommended as the first unit of study. Mark is the shortest of the four gospels and the study can be completed in four months, or in two series of eight weeks with a weekly Bible study. In order to understand the Gospel of Mark, you don't need a background in other books of the Bible.

The Book of Mark, a study guide in simplified English is also available. It includes the entire Bible text of Mark in the simplified New Life version and is an ideal resource for groups or individuals who speak English as a second language.
