WordGo is a free Bible study app from Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) for anyone who wants a consistent, guided way to read Scripture, whether they are opening the Bible for the first time or have studied for years.^1
Pick a course and study alone, or invite friends, family, or a church small group. WordGo offers over 50 courses across the Old and New Testament, running one to six weeks, with daily bite-sized readings designed for 15 to 30 minutes a day.^2 Each course delivers Scripture readings, reflection questions, study notes, and audio teaching straight to your phone, with content written by BSF's network of trusted scholars.^4 In a group, members can share insights and prayer requests and encourage one another to stay on track.^2 Churches also use WordGo to equip people to start and lead groups.^5
BSF began in 1952, when five women asked former missionary Audrey Wetherell Johnson to teach them Colossians, and Bible Study Fellowship was officially launched in 1959 in Oakland, California.^6 BSF now reports more than 500,000 men, women, and children studying the Bible, with members in over 200 countries.^6 BSF launched the WordGo app in 2019 as a way for people to study BSF content on their own or in organic groups.^6 In a published interview, WordGo director Simon Lennox said, "We want to meet people where they're at when it comes to reading Scripture and take them on a journey."^7
Group leader Terri Fraley described what changed when her church life group started using WordGo:
"For the first time in three years, I saw some of our 'new to the faith' believers starting to track. They were actually looking at the lesson through the week."^8
WordGo is always free, with no hidden costs or subscriptions, and is available on iOS and Android.^2^10
