Let’s be honest for a sec. When someone says “Bible study date,” you probably imagine awkward silence,
dry commentary, or maybe that one time you tried to get through Leviticus without falling asleep. Yeah, same. 😅
But here’s the truth—Bible study dates can actually be a blast.
They can deepen your relationship (with each other and God), spark real conversation, and yes, even be romantic.
I’ve done plenty of them—some were sweet, some were straight-up hilarious, and a few turned out way better than dinner and a movie.
If you’re dating someone who loves Jesus (or you’re hoping to grow spiritually together),
these creative Bible study date ideas are going to change the game.
Ready? Let’s make faith-focused dates something to look forward to, not dread.
Sunset Scripture and Snacks
This one’s an easy win. You grab a picnic blanket, a couple of your favorite snacks (chips, fruit, and okay,
maybe cookies), and head to a scenic overlook just before sunset.
Bring your Bibles or open the YouVersion app, pick a Psalm or Proverbs chapter, and take turns reading aloud.
You don’t have to get deep into theology here—just share what sticks out or what hits home.
Why it works:
- Chill vibe
- Beautiful setting
- The perfect mix of casual and spiritual
And let’s be real—watching the sun go down while reading Scripture? Kinda poetic, not gonna lie.
Coffee Shop Conversations
Grab a table for two at your favorite café and bring your Bibles along (or just use your phones—God’s not judging).
Choose a passage or devotional and talk it over between sips of iced lattes.
This date works for early mornings, lazy afternoons, or rainy nights.
It’s casual, comfortable, and perfect for those “I want to talk about faith but not make it awkward” vibes.
Bonus tip:
Try working through one book of the Bible over a few weeks.
One chapter per coffee date = deep convos and consistent connection.
Side-by-Side Bible Journaling
Okay, I know this sounds super artsy—and it kind of is—but trust me, it’s a vibe.
You each grab a notebook or journaling Bible, break out some pens and markers, and spend 20–30 minutes reflecting on a passage.
Then, you swap notebooks and talk about what stood out.
Why it’s awesome:
- Calming and creative
- Shows how differently you interpret Scripture
- Great for introverts or slower-paced evenings
Also, it’s kinda cute to watch your person carefully underline words and write little prayers in the margins. 😍
Scripture Scavenger Hunt
Time to get moving. Make a list of 5–10 Scripture clues that connect to everyday objects or nature (like “a tree” for Jeremiah 17:8 or “a lamp” for Psalm 119:105).
Then go on a scavenger hunt together—around your house, the park, or your neighborhood.
Here’s how it plays out:
- You bond while solving clues
- It turns Scripture into a shared adventure
- It’s sneakily educational (and fun)
Yes, it’s nerdy. But it’s the best kind of nerdy.
Bible Movie Night and Chill
Some nights you don’t want deep convo—you want snacks, a blanket, and something easy to watch.
That’s where Bible-inspired films or series come in.
Watch something like The Chosen, The Prince of Egypt, or even Paul: Apostle of Christ.
Afterward, chat about what stood out, what the movie got right (or wrong), and how it made you feel.
Low-effort, high-impact.
Just don’t watch Noah with Russell Crowe and expect accuracy. You’ve been warned. 😉
Verse of the Day Check-In
This one’s more of an ongoing date. Each morning, you both choose a verse (or use the same one),
and check in later that day to talk about it.
Text each other, or save the discussion for your next hangout.
What did the verse mean to you? Did it connect to something that happened that day?
What you’ll get:
- Shared spiritual rhythm
- Great daily check-ins
- Unexpected “God moments”
It’s a sweet way to stay spiritually synced even when life’s crazy.

Prayer Walks in Nature
Go on a walk—through your neighborhood, a hiking trail, or the beach—and talk about what’s going on in your lives.
Then pray together out loud. It’s raw. It’s powerful. And it’s honestly kind of romantic.
Why it works:
- Nature = instant peace
- Walking makes deep talk feel more natural
- Prayer becomes less intimidating and more personal
Also, walking and praying together? Literal relationship goals.
Scripture Love Letter Swap
Take 30 minutes to write a short love letter using or inspired by Scripture.
Maybe you rewrite 1 Corinthians 13 in your own words or reflect on Ruth and Boaz and why your person reminds you of that loyalty.
Then swap letters and read them to each other.
Why you should try this:
- Deepens emotional intimacy
- Encourages vulnerability
- Perfect for anniversaries or quiet evenings
If you don’t cry (or at least tear up), are you even in love? 😭
Bible Trivia and Snacks Night
Time to flex your Sunday School memory. Grab a trivia game or Bible quiz app and go head-to-head.
Make it fun with small prizes or silly punishments (e.g., loser has to sing a VeggieTales song).
Best part? You learn and laugh together.
Sample categories to try:
- Old Testament facts
- “Who said this?”
- Weird Bible stories (yes, they’re out there)
Pro tip: Don’t play with someone who has the whole Bible memorized. That’s a setup for disaster.
Double Date Devotional Night
Invite another couple over and do a short Bible study or devotional together. Keep it short and light.
Think 10–15 minutes, then hang out and eat.
This builds community and gives you a chance to see how other couples grow in faith.
Why it’s worth it:
- Makes faith more communal
- Creates accountability
- Adds fresh perspectives
And who doesn’t love a reason to make nachos?
Volunteer Together and Reflect
Choose a cause you both care about—maybe serving food at a shelter or joining a church cleanup day.
Then, afterward, sit down and reflect on the experience through Scripture.
Try passages like:
- Matthew 25:40 (serving “the least of these”)
- James 2:14–17 (faith + works)
- Galatians 6:9 (don’t grow weary)
Spiritual growth meets real-world action. Plus, seeing your person serve others? Major heart eyes.
Write Your Own Psalm Night
Feeling poetic? Try writing a modern-day Psalm. It could be about gratitude, stress, love, doubt—whatever’s real.
Then read them to each other.
No pressure to make it pretty. Just honest.
Why it’s powerful:
- It brings emotion into Scripture
- You learn what your partner values and fears
- It builds trust like nothing else
IMO, this is one of the most underrated Bible date night ideas. 🔥
Topic-Focused Bible Study
Pick a topic you both care about—relationships, fear, patience, purpose—and find 3–5 verses about it.
Discuss how it applies to your life, what it challenges in you, and what you want to change.
Top topics to try:
- Anxiety
- Forgiveness
- Communication
- Identity in Christ
- Purpose and calling
Use a concordance or online tools to make it easy. (Bible Gateway is your friend.)
Worship Night at Home
Don’t overthink it. Light some candles, make tea (or hot cocoa if you’re feeling extra cozy), and put on a worship playlist.
Sing along if you want, or just sit in the moment.
Afterward, read a passage and talk about what it reminded you of. Let it flow naturally.
This one’s great when:
- You’ve had a long week
- You want to relax and reconnect
- You need a spiritual recharge
And yes, you’re allowed to dance in the living room. 💃🕺
Bible Verse Art Night
Pull out canvas boards, paint, markers—whatever art supplies you’ve got.
Choose your favorite verse and create an art piece inspired by it.
It’s messy. It’s fun. It’s personal.
Once you’re done, exchange your pieces as keepsakes.
Or hang them up as a reminder of the time you spent creating something together.
Don’t worry if you’re not “artsy.” Stick figures and bad calligraphy totally count.
Reflection + Communion Night
Make a simple dinner together and end the night with a short time of reflection and communion.
It doesn’t have to be formal—just some bread and juice, and a few quiet moments of prayer and gratitude.
It’s sacred and intimate—and super grounding.
Reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and what it means for your relationship.
Talk about how you can serve each other better, love each other deeper, and grow in your faith together.
It’s the kind of quiet that speaks volumes.
