Who We Are
Our studies are designed to incorporate an individual daily reflection time as well as a group discussion. Below you’ll find information on how to get started with @Home Bible Study, as well as details on new study releases and archived studies.
@Home Bible Study began in a living room over a decade ago…
where a small group of women gathered on Thursdays to study God’s Word. They watched video teachings, shared a meal, and prayed together—creating a space that was welcoming, honest, and grounded in scripture. As the group grew, so did its vision. The leadership team began developing original studies with custom questions and weekly lectures, while preserving the simplicity and warmth of that original home setting.
When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted in-person gatherings in 2020, the group adapted by meeting over Zoom.
What began as a temporary solution quickly became a new opportunity—groups could now meet from anywhere. The heart of the study remained unchanged, but the reach expanded. With that shift, @Home Bible Study was born.
@Home is built on the belief that gathering together to study God’s Word should be simple, beautifully guided, and accessible to anyone—
regardless of schedule, experience, or location. Each year, we release one in-depth study with weekly video lectures, scripture readings, and thoughtful discussion questions designed for daily reflection and weekly group conversation.
Our goal is to create a rhythm of connection—with God and with others.
Whether you're hosting a group in your living room, gathering over lunch, or meeting online, @Home gives you the tools and structure you need to lead with confidence and focus on what truly matters in life.
At its core, @Home remains what it has always been: a space to hear God speak, ask honest questions, and walk more closely with Jesus. We pray that through this format, you’ll discover the beauty, mystery, and life-changing power of His Word—right where you are.
What We Believe
The Bible can feel intimidating—it can be hard to know where to begin, or how to approach it. But to avoid starting is to miss the beauty of a Book like no other. The Bible is alive and life-changing. It’s full of historical accounts of real people with real struggles—just like us. But it’s far more than a collection of wisdom or encouragement. It is a living invitation to know the God who made you, sees you, and wants to be known by you.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God—true in all that it affirms, and powerful in the way it transforms. At the heart of everything we do at @Home is the belief that God’s Word leads to an intimate, vibrant relationship with Jesus.
“Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding.
That’s right—if you make Insight your priority, and won’t take no for an answer,
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours; you’ll have come upon the Knowledge of God.”
Proverbs 2:3 - 5, The Message
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
John 1:1, 14
Our Core Beliefs
We believe in one God eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ, the Son, is fully God and fully man— two distinct natures in one Person.
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, forming one unified body with Christ as the head. The Spirit empowers believers to carry out Christ’s mission on earth until His return.
We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone for all who believe and receive the gift.
We believe that humanity was created in God’s image, with free will, and that sin entered the world through disobedience—impacting every person since.
We believe in the substitutionary death of Jesus on the cross as atonement for sin, sufficient for all who repent and believe.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, guaranteeing the resurrection and eternal life of all who trust in Him.
We look forward to Christ’s visible, bodily return to establish His Kingdom and judge the world in righteousness.
BETTY KILPATRICK
is a wife to Tim and mother of four grown children. She graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Advertising and a minor in Art. Her career in Public Relations was followed by launching a startup company that provided high-end tabletop products to the hospitality industry. Betty sold her business in 1993 to dedicate her time to a growing family and ministry opportunities. She served for 28 years in Bible Study Fellowship as a discussion group facilitator, a teacher and an area advisor. BSF is the ministry that taught her the beauty and blessing of digging deeply into God’s Word. In addition to Biblical studies Betty enjoys dirt digging in her garden and stirring up things in the kitchen. Her passion for anything to do with food and gathering around a table opened the door for her to be a food and recipe contributor to Deeply Rooted Magazine, a publication dedicated to her passion of inspiring women to pursue a heart-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”
Psalm 34:8
GAYLE O’NEAL
taught Bible Study Fellowship for 16 years. She was married to Richard O’Neal, her college sweetheart, for 56 years. She has four children, 10 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Her love for the Word came from membership in Bible Study Fellowship which she first attended reluctantly. The more she studied the Bible, the more intrigued she became, which evoked a lifelong dedication to seeking Christ daily and understanding His truth. She has inspired generations of women to model her commitment to know the Lord intimately, and become a woman of character as she is known to be. When not teaching, Gayle spends her time with her many friends, or in the country working in her flower garden and admiring the beauty of God’s creation.
“Therefore Jesus said again, ‘Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out and find pasture.’”
John 10:7,9
KATHY PAUKUNE
discovered her love of words and writing at an early age. She worked as a writer and associate editor for several years before moving with her husband, Mark and two children to Fort Worth, where she first attended Bible Study Fellowship. It was through BSF that she learned the mystery, beauty and adventure of God’s Word. After serving as a discussion group facilitator for several years, Kathy started a small Bible Study with a few friends in her home. That Bible Study continued to grow and is now @Home Bible Study. Kathy has used her passion for God’s Word and her questioning mind to develop the accompanying discussion lessons for @Home Bible Studies.
“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a name written on Him that no one knows but He Himself.”
Revelation 19:11-12

@Home started in 2010 as an in-person Bible study where women could hear and discuss God’s Word over lunch. It has evolved into a simple, beautifully designed digital Bible study experience anyone can join from anywhere. Each study is rooted in scripture, thoughtfully guided, and crafted to help you draw closer to Jesus alongside others.
