Community Bible Study
Insightful curriculum. Real conversations. Right where you are.
Celebrating 50 years of making disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, through caring, in-depth Bible study.
Join the celebration by sharing your CBS story and supporting the next 50 years of ministry.
Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible.
Our groups are for anyone who wants to find out why the Bible still matters today.
Our 2026-2027 year will begin on September 11, 2026 and continue for 30 weeks ending May 7, 2027. Join us as we study through the book of Colossians (6 weeks), a book written by Paul pointed believers at Colossae to Jesus as the Head of His body, the church. We will continue with a study in Christian Leadership (1 and 2 Timothy and Titus) which will emphasize the essentials necessary for a church to be united and grounded in God's truth. Finally we will study Christian Living (Philemon, 1,2 and 3 John and Jude) to encourage us to live lives of truth and love in the midst of cultures that do not necessarily embrace either.
We meet in-person at Good Shepherd Church of Charlotte, which includes a Spanish speaking women's core group (Ethnos). There are also dedicated online core groups available on Friday morning for Women and a core group for adults with intellectual disabilities (Agape), Thursday evening for Women and Monday evening for Co-Ed couples.
The 5 Essential Elements of CBS are individual study (spiral bound lesson book or online), small group discussion, teaching time, and the commentary provided in your lesson book, all wrapped up in a caring community.

Next Gen Ministry
Through a variety of activities such as Bible teaching, Scripture memory work, craft, music, and games, we seek to provide a nurturing environment where children can learn about Jesus' wonderful love for them. We come alongside parents as they teach and train their children to live out God’s truths in their lives. School Age Students study age-appropriate editions of the same books the adults study. Preschool students learn three years worth of bible stories with crafts, music and games. Nursery care is provided for our youngest members. Register online or email NextGen Director Terri Hogue for questions at terrihcbs@gmail.com.
Ethnos
Somos ETHNOS!! Hola bienvenidos al nuestro estudio bíblico en español! Te invitamos a ver lo que sucede en la vida de las personas cuando descubren a Dios a través del estudio de Su Palabra, la Biblia. Nuestros grupos son para cualquiera que quiera averiguar por qué la Biblia sigue siendo importante hoy en día. Todos los aspectos se presentan de una manera que hace que los conceptos bíblicos sean aplicables y accesibles. Los 5 elementos esenciales de CBS son el estudio individual (libro de lecciones en espiral), la discusión en grupos pequeños, el tiempo de enseñanza y el comentario proporcionado en su libro de lecciones, todo envuelto en una maravillosa comunidad. Por favor, regístrese en línea o póngase en contacto con la líder principal en español Jennifer Romero (Mycbs76@gmail.com) si tiene alguna pregunta, Bendiciones. Te esperamos!!
Agape
The CBS “AGAPE” ministry fulfills the CBS mission by providing an in-depth Bible Study for intelluctually disabled adults in our community. AGAPE means God’s Love. And it’s for everyone! Our time together includes worship, an interactive teaching time, small group discussion and fellowship with one another. All aspects are presented in a way that makes Biblical concepts applicable and accessible. Adults with mild intellectual disability who are 18+ and able to do some reading and writing will benefit most from AGAPE. Members meet online via Zoom on Fridays.
