At Faith Church, we believe that daily reading and study of scripture is one way we grow in our relationship with God. We know that developing the habit of reading scripture can be a challenge, and sometimes Bible passages can be hard to understand. Here are some resources to help you grow in this daily rhythm.

Five-Day Reading Plan
This is the plan mentioned by Pastor Andy in early January. The Five Day Bible Reading Schedule was created by a husband-and-wife team so that if you skip a day or have a day off, you can still read through the Bible in a year.
The plan can be downloaded as a PDF and printed, double-sided, on an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper that's easy to read and share with others. Click the button below to learn more and get the plan.
