What is Dwelling Richly Community Bible Study?
The Dwelling Richly study was inspired by Colossians 3:16, that we should not just read the Bible, not just listen to someone else teach it, but that we should “let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.”
- Verse-by-verse, inductive, Bible study
- Prioritizing thoughtful engagement in the Word
- An invitation to first know the Word in context then see how God is revealed and how we can know the character of God.
- After that, we look at what that message was intended to communicate to its original audience
- Consider how God’s Word impacts our thinking and how we live out the Gospel in our life.
Who is DRCBS for? — DRCBS is for anyone from any church or no church at all – all denominations and backgrounds – We come together for a time of fellowship and teaching. We have fun and learn a ton together in God’s Word.
Dwelling Richly is where we understand first what the Word means, then what it means to us personally.

What’s the Goal? — The goal of each Dwelling Richly study is in the name – to literally dwell richly in the Word and let the Word dwell in us. So, each study gives us time to read, write, consider, meditate, memorize, engage, share, and create through, in, and with the Word and one another.
“I came to Dwelling Richly a little nervous. Could I do this? Would it be too hard? Would I look dumb in front of others? I finished feeling so happy and excited! I learned more than I expected and never once felt pressured or like I didn’t know something I should have. It was just a wonderful study and I can’t wait to do the next one!” -Carla
What can I Expect? —
“I love how the Dwelling Richly studies give me options. Some days I’m pressed for time – I can simply read. Other days I’m able to dig deeper. This study has that kind of flexibility built in.” ~Theresa

“I’ve always had a hard time completing other studies, but what made Dwelling Richly different was the way my creative brain was free to connect. I realize that previous studies I tried (and never finished) were geared for the “left-brained” thinkers only. But Dwelling Richly had space for me and my creative out-of-the-box mind too! I felt at home and free to express myself and think and learn in a way that was welcoming to my style. The Create & Share was absolutely my favorite! Hands-on, expressive people like me will find a home in these studies! Highly recommend.” -Michele
