Where do I start with Grapevine?

Choosing a Bible curriculum can feel overwhelming. There are so many choices and sometimes it is hard to know where to start. At Grapevine, take the stress out of choosing a study by giving you a simple and easy three-year plan.

We recommend starting with the Overviews and then moving to the individual Topical Studies. Here is the 3 year cycle we recommend.

Year 1 – Old Testament Overview

Year 2 – New Testament Overview

Year 3 –  Topical Studies
