Bible READING PLANS
Discover the depths of God's Word! The Bible can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. The best way to begin studying is to spend time in it daily. In 2025, we will follow a five-day reading plan through the Bible, and we'd love to have you join us. If you want, you can read just the Old or New Testament. Either way, we anticipate God working through our church as we engage with His Word.
