The Evangelical Covenant Church is excited to announce a Covenant-wide effort launching in 2016 to be “People of the Book” together! We encourage you and your church to join us on an unforgettable journey–to reignite our passion for the Scriptures. Sponsored by Make and Deepen Disciples.
Community Bible Experience is a different way to read the Bible: less like a reference book, more like a story.
CBE is a lot simpler than most Bible studies or church-wide campaigns. It consists of a few basic ingredients—a Bible unlike any other, a 40-day reading plan, and five discussion questions:

“If we believe the Word of God is the Living Word and is transformative then we believe it has the power to speak to us today and to transform lives: this is exactly what happened in the lives of our congregation at DeerGrove. People were ignited with the Scriptures and shared in story in a unique and amazing way. People still talk about it frequently and we are excited to enter into Community Bible Experience again, this time along with our whole Covenant Family.”
Melissa Wall
Pastor, DeerGrove Covenant Church, Palatine, IL
“The Community Bible Experience was a blessing for Oakdale Covenant Church. We have always had strong participation in our Bible Study experiences. But when we added the Community Bible Experience, it ignited our Wednesday Bible Study. CBE allowed for a fresh look at some familiar scriptures and the discussion questions certainly increased verbal participation. I would highly recommend CBE.”
Darrell Griffin
Pastor, Oakdale Covenant Church, Chicago, IL
“I am a fan of CBE because it provides a practical method for people to read the entire New Testament (or Old Testament) to engage the grand narrative of the Bible. CBE also encourages biblical community as small groups and whole churches read and discuss the same sections of Scripture together. We believe a Covenant-wide Community Bible Experience will take us back to the future as our immigrant revival movement flourished by reading the Bible together in community. The baseline questions of “Where is it written?” and “How goes your walk?” will re-emerge to make and deepen disciples throughout the entire ECC.”
Garth Bolinder
Superintendent, Midsouth Conference
