2026 Bible Reading Plan

We are excited to announce a church-wide initiative for 2026: a unified chronological Bible reading plan designed to help our entire church family — adults, teens, and children — walk through God’s Word together.

Why a Chronological Bible Reading Plan?

This plan follows the well-established chronological Bible reading plan originally developed by Blue Letter Bible and widely used by The Bible Recap. Reading Scripture in the order events likely occurred helps the Bible’s story flow more clearly and makes connections easier to see.

Key Highlights of the Plan

  • Daily Structure Encouraged
    Continue using helpful tools such as the Inductive Bible Study Method, S-O-W Reflection (Scripture, Observation, Walk It Out), and PACE + STEP for life application — both individually and in groups.

  • Main Companion Resource: The Bible Recap
    Short daily recaps are available:

    • Podcast: ~8 minutes

    • YouTube video: ~12 minutes
      These recaps help reinforce what you’ve read and keep you moving forward.

  • Audio Bible Options
    Listen on the go using YouVersion, BibleGateway, or Blue Letter Bible.

  • Family-Friendly Resources
    Families can stay on the same passages using:

    • The Bible Recap Kids podcast and videos

    • Illustrated books and devotionals for younger readers
      These tools make it easy for parents and children to discuss Scripture together.

Our Vision

The goal is unity — our entire church reading the same Scriptures at the same time — creating opportunities for deeper conversation, discipleship, and spiritual growth across generations.

How to Get Started for 2026

The plan restarts every year on January 1, so there’s no special 2026 edition needed.

This is a simple, accessible, and powerful way to read the entire Bible in one year — together. Many people find that the chronological approach, combined with the daily recaps, truly makes Scripture come alive.

God bless you,
