Reading the Bible is one of the most important practices a Christian can engage in to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ. Join with rest of the Cross Church family as we read through the Old and New Testaments in 2026.
This Bible reading plan will take readers through the entire Bible in one year. The reading plan is a chronological journey through the Bible following the events of the Bible in the order they happened.
The YouVersion Bible app has the same plan and can be accessed here for easy reading or listenin on your mobile device.
