History
Summary
Q Place has a rich heritage from the method, materials and ministry of Neighborhood Bible Studies. In 1960 two followers of Christ recognized that many people would be interested in the Bible if they had an opportunity to discover it for themselves in a non-threatening small group setting. They began to help Christians invite their neighbors, co-workers, and friends into small groups to study the Bible together. They wrote guides to facilitate good discussions, and they developed guidelines to help discussions remain healthy. Groups grew, multiplied, and spread across the U.S. and the world.
In 2007, Neighborhood Bible Studies (NBS) recognized that many people in post-modern cultures are very open about deep spiritual questions and their beliefs but are often not immediately drawn to the idea of a Bible Study. Yet, the approach of discussing tough questions about God and providing a safe place for people to wrestle and discover answers is still a remarkable fit. In 2008 Neighborhood Bible Studies became Q Place to meet the growing need of people who have a spiritual curiosity about God as revealed in the Bible but who are unlikely to attend a church. A Q Place is a small group of two to twelve people who get together on a regular basis with two or three initiators to discuss spiritual topics about God and the Bible.
