Church Leader?

“Leading a church can be like spinning just so many - too many - plates. I've been there and done that. What I wished l'd had to help me were simple, biblical resources to help me train others, entrust to my small groups, point congregation members to and give to enquirers. Open the Bible has a growing range of resources to help you with this, and here we explain what we have that could help you lead your church well.”

John Martin, UK Executive Director

We currently have two free video-based courses you can use with your church family, designed to require minimal preparation – just watch the teaching video and discuss the session questions.

  • Fly Through The Bible is ideal for taking your small groups or emerging leaders through a simple Bible overview. Check out the book and the free app, and sign up to receive the free small group guide.
  • For Leaders has 3 modules you can use with your leaders, small group leaders or emerging leaders to help them consider the basic foundations of gospel ministry.

We aim to produce more Courses in 2026 – sign up to hear when they are released.

Many pastors find listening to other preachers helpful in their own sermon preparation. We have over 600 of Colin Smith’s sermons that you can search by topic or Bible reference.

We all want to encourage our congregations to be getting into God’s Word regularly. Our 3 minute Daily devotions are a great way to form a healthy habit – subscribe to have them come into your inbox or podcast stream each day.

Topics

We have hundreds of resources collated by topic – articles, sermons, books and booklets – to help your congregation grow in faith and point others to explore faith.
