Starting in January 2026 we will be going through a churchwide Bible reading plan called "The Essential Jesus"

The Essential Jesus Bible Reading Plan is a 100-day journey designed to help you see Jesus woven throughout the entire Bible—from Genesis to Revelation. There are 5 readings each week for a total of 20 weeks. Each day features a selected passage, a brief devotional overview, and reflection questions that point you to the person and work of Christ.  Each weak is themed around different aspects of Jesus life: Prophecy, Sermons, Parables, Miracles, etc.

We will be discussing the weekly readings in Sunday School and Pastor Scott will be preaching from one of the selected passages. 


Whether you're new to Bible reading or looking to deepen your walk with the Lord, this plan provides an accessible, meaningful way to focus your heart on Jesus.

Join us as we explore God’s Word together and encounter the Savior at the center of it all!
