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.
