The Big Church Read doesn’t just have to be for Big Church Groups! If you’d like to join in on your own, you can easily do that – and you’ll be joining thousands of others around the country enjoying a shared reading experience.

Let us know who you are

It’s not compulsory, but if you sign-up to the mailing list, we can make sure you have everything you need. 

Get hold of the book.

You can buy a copy from your local Christian bookshop, or directly from us here at the Big Church Read.

Read the chapters!

Some books will have one video per chapter others will span two or three chapters, we’ll provide reading plans so you know what your supposed to be reading and when. 

Set aside some time to reflect

We hope you’ll really enjoy the weekly pattern of setting aside time to watch the videos and read the relevant chapters. It’s also important to set aside time to absorb what you’ve been reading and work out what it means for you. If the book doesn’t include discussion questions then we will provide those separately. And if you’d like to tell others what you thought, then there will be thousands of others doing the Big Church Read around the country, so you can join in on social media and make new friends. It’s one of the most enriching aspects of reading through the book in a shared experience.

Tell others

 If you want to tell others about it and encourage others to join you, download our ready-to-go social media assets to decorate your page, or email the website link to your friends.  

We hope you enjoy taking part, and if you have any questions at all, then we’d love to hear from you – just send us an email. We’ll let you know when the next Big Church Read is starting so that you can make plans to join in with that too. The next book will be How to Pray by Pete Greig which will take place in early 2021.
