Bible study · Saint Paul, MN
Find a Bible study in Saint Paul — or start one at your table.
You can join a free Bible study in Saint Paul without joining a church, signing anything, or giving money. The first Christians met house to house, every day (Acts 2:46) — a couch and an open Bible is the whole setup. Tell us where you are and we'll connect you with people nearby, or help you host the first one on your street.
Gather close to the people: a library room in Rondo, a home near Dayton's Bluff, or a small table in Midway. Start with Matthew and continue with John. Make room for questions shaped by different languages and histories. End by deciding how to obey Jesus in Saint Paul before the group meets again.
Following Jesus in Saint Paul means knowing the city
Frogtown, Rondo, Dayton's Bluff, Highland Park, the West Side, and the East Side cannot be reduced to one Saint Paul story. The Green Line connects places without erasing their histories. Hmong, Somali, Latino, Black, Indigenous, and longtime European-American neighbors share the city while experiencing it differently. A local table should respect language, winter transportation, work schedules, and the person already doing the welcoming.
Good places to meet around Saint Paul
No living room available? A study needs a table, not a sanctuary. A few spots locals actually use:
Saint Paul Public Library meeting and study rooms
Rondo, Dayton's Bluff, Rice Street, Riverview, and other branches
Reserve under the current policy, stay within time and frequency limits, and choose the branch the group can reach.
A community-center room
Arlington Hills or Highland Park
Check current rental rates, capacity, and availability with the center before announcing a gathering.
A neighborhood coffee table
Midway, West 7th, or the East Side
Ask permission, avoid crowding a small business, and make sure cost is not a barrier for anyone attending.
A home table
Frogtown, Rondo, Dayton's Bluff, West Side, or your block
A warm living room can matter in winter. Share an ordinary meal and give every person time to speak.
How to start a study in your Saint Paul living room
Invite two people
A neighbor, a coworker, family. Start with the people you have. The first believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, meals, and prayer, and they met in homes (Acts 2:42,46).
Open the Gospel of Matthew
Start with Matthew, then John — one chapter at a time. Read it out loud, then ask two questions: What does this say about Jesus? What do we do about it? That's the whole curriculum. You can read, watch, or listen to Matthew free at GotLuv.org.
Eat together
The first church broke bread in their homes "with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:46). Pizza counts. This matters more than it sounds like it does.
Tell us it exists
Use the form below. We'll pray for you, help when you hit questions you can't answer, and send people from Saint Paul your way when they're looking.
You don't need permission, a seminary degree, or a 501(c)(3). You need a Bible and a door you're willing to open. We'll walk with you — email hi@thejesussaveschurch.com or text (909) 375-3787.
And don't stop at study. Ask what Jesus would call your table to do this week. Carry groceries, forgive somebody, welcome a stranger, help a new believer get baptized. Learning His words matters because we intend to obey them (Matthew 28:20).
Bible study in Saint Paul — common questions

Can a study include more than one language?

Does Bible study cost anything?
No. There is no workbook, offering, or class fee.
Why practice something after reading?
