Get in the Word

Read scripture with our church.

Mobile-Friendly Reading Plan

Journey through the Bible

In 2026, we’re stepping into a two-year journey through the story of Scripture. Each day, we’ll open our Bibles not just to learn, but to be formed—listening for God’s voice and letting His truth renew our minds, strengthen our faith, and shape us into the likeness of Jesus.

We’ll read on our own, yet not alone. Our whole church will move through the same passages each week, creating a shared rhythm and a common story. Whether you’ve never read the Bible before or you’ve read it many times, this is an invitation to walk with our community and hear from God day by day.

You can join anytime, starting from wherever we are in the plan. Printed 4×6 cards are available on Sundays in the seat backs of the Summit worship space—take one to keep in your Bible or journal. Each quarter includes a built-in rest week, a chance to slow down, reflect, catch up, or linger over what God has been speaking.

Practices & Resources

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
—Colossians 3:16

We read Scripture with prayer and openness, using simple tools to understand what we’re seeing. And as God stirs things in us, we share them with our community.

  • Before you read, slow down. Take a breath. Invite the Spirit to speak and help you receive what God wants to show you today.

    Try this simple prayer:

    “Lord, open my heart and mind to receive your Word. Meet me here and shape me by your truth.”

  • As you read, pay attention to what stands out. A few simple questions can help:

    • What does this passage show about God?

    • What stirs me or catches my attention?

    • Is there an invitation here?

    Not every invitation is something to do. Often it’s simply to notice, to trust, to rest, or to be honest with God.

    Let what you notice become conversation with God—gratitude, honesty, questions, trust—and with friends. We grow as we talk about what God is teaching us.

  • When something is confusing, you’re not doing it wrong; the Bible is ancient, and we’re modern readers. Confusion is normal and part of formation. Name what feels unclear, zoom out and look at context, focus on what is clear, and ask the Spirit to guide. Trust as you learn.

  • Every quarter includes a built-in Rest + Revisit week. This is unhurried space to slow down, reflect, pray, and return to anything God may be highlighting. These pauses remind us that God is faithful, patient, and present with us.

    You might:
    • Revisit a passage you sensed an invitation to explore.
    • Bring a larger question to God and notice what’s been surfacing.
    • Choose one short verse to carry, memorize, and pray aloud morning and evening.
