Questions and Answers
Why is this free? What's the catch?
Don’t worry, there’s no catch! Study Gateway Free is a completely free service, and there won’t be any surprise charges on August 31. We just want you to experience some of our best Bible studies, and share them with your friends. And of course we hope that once you get a taste of Study Gateway, you’ll want a full subscription so you can watch all of the other series you’re about to discover!
Do you mean I can watch these series as many times as I want?
Yes! There are no limits to the number of times you can watch the free videos. But, your free account only makes the complete series available until the end of the quarter. After that, if you want to go back and watch the sessions again, you will need to have a paid subscription.
Is there a way for me and my study group to do this together on Zoom?
Streaming videos are a great resource for a Zoom Bible study, but you might not want to actually watch the videos together on Zoom. For one thing, when you try to watch a video in Zoom, it can jump from frame to frame and be uncomfortable to watch. Another concern is Zoom fatigue – it’s real! Rather than extending your meetings to watch a video during your meeting, consider making your Zoom meetings a “talk-only zone,” and have everyone watch the videos on their own ahead of time.
How do I watch the videos? Is this like Netflix?
Yes! This is a streaming video service, just like Netflix–only it’s better for you! You can watch Study Gateway videos on your computer, or you can download the app and watch from your smart phone or tablet. If you have an iPhone and Apple TV, you can mirror to your TV, or you can watch on Roku.
What happens on September 1? Will I be kicked out?
No! You’re a part of the Study Gateway family now, so we’ll never kick you out! At the end of every quarter, we will change the free studies to a new set of three, and you can continue to access the first sessions of all the series, plus the three complete studies for that season.
What communication can I expect to receive? I don't want to be inundated with emails.
After the first few emails that get you oriented as to how best to enjoy Study Gateway, you will be getting a weekly newsletter to introduce you to our different studies, and give you tips and tools for your own discipleship journey, and for helping others in their spiritual growth as well. You can unsubscribe from the weekly emails at any time.
