The Bible

Study the Bible

Bible study in Dubai and Abu Dhabi - free, from the Scriptures. Christians, and anyone who wants to know who Jesus is, are welcome. You do not need to already be a Christian, know the verses, or belong to a church.

Maybe you have wondered whether there is a deeper purpose to what you are going through, or whether the Bible is still relevant today - or maybe you have simply wanted to read it for yourself but did not know where to start.

If you have ever found yourself asking questions like these, you do not have to search for the answers alone. We would love to sit down with you - one-to-one or in a small group, in English or another language if that is easier - and open the Scriptures together.

We start where you are. Some people have never opened a Bible. Some grew up around church and still have questions. The study is free - no pressure, no commitment, and no expectations.

Ask to study

Answer a few questions and we will pass them to someone from the church in your neighbourhood.

Questions

Can I study the Bible if I am not a Christian?

Yes. Most people who ask us to study are still finding out what they believe. We will read the Bible with you and answer questions. You do not have to agree in advance, attend Sunday first, or join the church.

Who is Jesus, according to the Bible?

We read the Gospels together. The Scriptures present Jesus as the Son of God, who died on the cross, rose from the dead, and calls people to follow him as disciples. The person who studies with you will let the text speak rather than handing you a slogan.

I want to understand Christianity. Where do we start?

Usually with who Jesus is, what he taught, and what it means to follow him. We use the Bible itself. If you already use the All Nations or First Principles apps, we can walk through the same kind of study in person in Dubai.

Do I need to know the Bible already?

No. Say so on the form if this is new to you. We will not assume church language. Bring honest questions.

What does a Bible study cost?

Nothing. No payment, no course fee. Write to [email protected] if the form is awkward and we will still arrange a study.

Is there Bible study in Dubai?

Yes. Free personal Bible study with ICOC UAE in Dubai. Tell us your neighbourhood on the form and we will introduce you to someone who can sit with you and open the Bible. Sunday service is at Oval Hall, Garhoud.

Is there Bible study in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Tell us you live in Abu Dhabi. We will introduce you to someone who can sit with you and open the Bible. Studies are free. The Saturday gathering is at ADCP Tower A, Room 2403, 7:30 PM.

I live in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, or elsewhere in the UAE. Can I still study?

Yes. Tell us your area. We will introduce you to someone nearby, or study online if that is what we can offer.
