WELCOME TO CBSi NORTHWEST LONDON
We are a group of women who meet weekly during the school year to study God's word.
The success of CBSI lies in its five-way process that enables people within a supportive group environment, to understand God’s Word for themselves.
1. Home study
Each week there are study questions, which the participants and leaders complete at home. Most answers can be found in the passage being studied. This helps people get used to using the Bible when answering questions.
2. Group discussion
Discussion group time is the heart of CBS! Classes are divided into small groups, each with a discussion group leader. The larger class breaks into small groups where they discuss the home study questions and answers, in an encouraging small-group environment. A leader facilitates discussion to enable group participation on the answers they have written down. A small group usually consists of about 6 -12 members.
3. The talk
Following small group discussion time, the class comes together for a wrap-up talk, typically 15-30 minutes in length. The talk brings out truths and principles from the Bible passage, often with life application. The speaker will seek to share the main principle that God wants to implant in our hearts and lives from that week's scripture study.
4. Commentary
When leaving, the participants are given a Commentary on the lesson they have just studied as well as the questions for next week. Most classes will have a study book or booklets which include all the lessons.
5. Caring
CBSI is a Team Ministry and is run by volunteer leaders. Most CBSi groups have fellowship time, sometimes sharing a meal together, several times during the course of the class. Relationships are at the heart of CBS - our relationship in caring for one another just as Jesus cared for his disciples and cares for us today.
