UBF HQ Online Mission Team

Give your campus a front door students can find.

StartBibleStudy.org lets any UBF chapter build a Bible study invitation page, print QR flyers, take sign-ups around the clock, and connect each student with a Bible teacher. No designer and no code.

Why online

Many students say no to a flyer. Few say no to their phone.

Approach a student on campus and they often decline politely. That rarely means they aren’t interested. Many want to look around privately first, at their own pace, before they talk to anyone. A QR code and a good page give them that room.

Private exploration first. Personal connection next.

Two pathways, one destination

Start with a handshake or a DM. Both lead to Bible study.

Your chapter can reach students on campus, online, or both. Every invitation points to the same campus page and the same short sign-up form.

What’s inside StartBibleStudy.org

Everything a chapter needs to invite, follow up, and match

Every chapter needs its own outreach site, but few have someone who can build one. So we built the tool for you.

A page that looks like your campus

Start from one of four designs, then set the type style, your logo, an accent color and the photo tone. A live preview shows every change on a phone or desktop before you save.

  • Story
  • Quiet Invitation
  • Community & Events
  • Simple

A sign-up form that fits your chapter

List your real small groups, add up to 10 questions of your own (pick one, pick any, or a short answer), and write the confirmation email students receive.

QR codes and flyers for every teacher

Each Bible teacher gets a personal QR code. Students who scan it are matched to that teacher automatically. Design Instagram posts, stories and A5 print flyers on real campus photos, right in the console.

No student slips through

Every sign-up moves through Open invites → To follow up → Matched. Students nobody has reached show “Waiting n days”, and admins can download the list to Excel.

Where it started

Built from years of trying things on real campuses

When the pandemic closed campuses, our team saw an opening. We began meeting students where they already spend their time: on their phones, on social media, and on Google.

  1. biblestudyfree.org

    Bible study introductions and testimony videos, paired with Google and Facebook ads for students searching “bible study” near our Chicago, Berkeley and LA chapters. Real students clicked through and signed up.

  2. lbcctruevine.org

    A site for the LBCC Bible Study Club, optimized for Google and linked from the school’s official club page. Students found it on their own and applied right there.

  3. Instagram and Facebook DMs

    Personal messages to campus students. A website gives credibility. A personal message gives warmth.

  4. StartBibleStudy.org

    Everything we learned, turned into a tool any UBF chapter can use.

Watch: the UBF Online Mission Team

“Websites plus social media DMs became our formula. Build a place students can find, then reach out to them directly.”

Students respond. They sign up. They show up.

We’ve seen what happens when a website, a social media presence and a personal message come together. Let’s help your chapter see it too.
