If your small group, women's ministry, or men's group has ever scrambled to find a good video Bible study — and winced at the cost of buying another DVD set — Study Gateway was built to solve that problem. It's a streaming subscription service from Zondervan and Thomas Nelson (the publishing arms of HarperCollins Christian Publishing) that puts thousands of video Bible studies at your fingertips for one monthly fee.^1
The library carries every teaching video published by HarperChristian Resources, featuring well-known Bible teachers like Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, Louie Giglio, Jennie Allen, Lisa Harper, Ann Voskamp, Christine Caine, Bob Goff, and many more.^2 Topics range from books of the Bible and discipleship to overcoming and healing, relationships, and spiritual practices. Each study comes with a companion study guide that includes discussion questions and between-sessions activities — and subscribers get publisher-direct pricing on those guides.^1 Studies typically run four to twelve sessions, averaging six 20-minute videos each.^1
What sets Study Gateway apart is its tiered subscription model designed specifically for churches and small groups. Personal plans cover up to three devices, small group plans serve up to 20 people with admin tools, and church plans scale to congregations of all sizes.^1 Subscribers also get early access to new releases — 30 days before the in-store date.^3 The app works across iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, and Chromecast, with offline downloads available on mobile.^1

"I came back to the Lord after being away 10 years or so. He pursued me until I found my way back. And then found great teachers on this site and my new favorite Lisa Harper, who shared that the Bible is God's love story for us! Wow, has that changed my life!" — App Store review^4
