How long should the Bible study sessions be?
Bible study sessions normally last around one hour (1:00) to an hour and a half (1:30). Churches must consider the attention span of students when choosing a curriculum and how long each session should be. Most of Imagine Ministries’ curriculum is written with the student’s attention span in mind. There are numerous activities and illustrations through the sessions that gain additional attention from the students. A general rule of thumb on attention spans is one(1) minute for every year they have lived.(ex. 15 year old = 15 minutes) If activities, illustrations, stories, etc. are intermingled throughout the sessions, then the attention span starts over when that activity begins.
