Join Us on a Journey Through the New Testament
There is nothing quite like the power of God’s Word to transform our hearts and align our lives with His purpose. We are inviting our entire church family to embark on a 6-month journey through the New Testament, walking together through the life of Jesus and the birth of the early church. Whether you’ve read the Bible many times or are opening it for the first time, this plan is designed to be manageable, consistent, and deeply rewarding. Watch the short video below to hear more about the vision for this season, and then take a look at the daily reading schedule provided in the graphic. To help you stay on track, don't forget to sign up for our weekly reminder texts at the bottom of this page. Let's grow in faith and knowledge together!

Journaling Practices
Rather than simply checking off a daily Bible reading plan, our goal is to read Scripture with the desire to understand it and respond to it. One helpful tool for this is the HEAR Method of journaling. HEAR stands for Highlight, Explain, Apply, and Respond. This method helps create space to listen for what God is saying through His Word.
God can speak to us anywhere, but we must be intentional about listening. Set aside a consistent time to read Scripture, approach it with focus, and expect God to speak. Before you begin, pause and pray—ask God for clarity and guidance as you read. We need His help to truly understand His Word.
Each part of the HEAR method is action-oriented. God invites us to actively pursue Him rather than passively waiting for truth to come to us.
