Christians often feel stuck when it comes to the Bible. Some have tried reading it before, but it confused them, so they gave up. Others set a huge goal but stumbled a few days in, and their guilt has kept them from picking it back up. So, they are stuck, wanting to grow in their faith, but paralyzed by confusion, guilt, and apathy.
The Bible wasn't meant to burden or confuse you, but without a plan to grow in your practice of reading and responding to God's Word, you'll continue to feel stuck, and miss out on what God has for you.
That’s why we’ve launched…
One Year — Three Seasons
We've built NT260 in three seasons, allowing you to adjust your experience as needed from season to season. The 260-day reading plan will take you through the entire New Testament in a year (reading 1 chapter per weekday).
-
Luke // Acts // James // Galatians // 1 & 2 Thessalonians // Philemon // Hebrews
-
Mark // Romans // 1 & 2 Corinthians // Colossians // Ephesians // Philippians // 1 & 2 Timothy // Titus // 1 & 2 Peter
-
John // 1 - 3 John // Jude // Revelation // Matthew
NT260 will help you develop a regular practice of daily time with the Lord and will provide accountability to live out what you’re learning in community with a group of other believers.
You'll spend time (approximately 15 minutes) each day (Monday - Friday) in prayer, reading the text for that day, and responding to what God shows you. This is the foundation for the whole journey. We've also created a simple, printed guide to help you make the most out of your daily time with the Lord. Each day you will:
-
Start with prayer. Ask God to open your heart to help you understand and receive His Word.
-
Each day, you'll consider questions about what the text says and how it points you to Jesus. You can jot those thoughts down in the guide (or not, if it’s not your thing).
-
Don't just read it. Put what God has shown you into action!
You don't have to do this on your own. Join an NT260 group and enjoy rich community and accountability with other believers as you walk through the New Testament together. We'll have groups for men, women, as well as mixed groups in three methods.
-
Connect with your group via text (Monday - Friday), sharing about what God is teaching you through the Word and how you will put it into action. Once a month, you'll be able to gather and connect with your group in person.
-
Meet weekly via video (60 minutes) to connect and share what God is teaching you through the Word and how you will put it into action. Once a month, you'll be able to gather and connect with your group in person.
-
Meet weekly (60 minutes) to connect and share what God is teaching you through your daily time and talk about how you will put it into action. Meeting location will be determined by group leader.
These groups are a guilt-free zone. No guilt-trip if you missed a reading or two that week. No judgment if you're just getting started with the Bible. No need to be anxious about having the “right” answers.
Read God's Word. Engage with your group. Grow in your relationship with Him.

Here’s what some of the participants in our pilot groups had to say about their experience:
“I was quite skeptical that a group of women would find Christ-centered ‘community’ via texting...I was wrong.”
“I’ve rediscovered a love and excitement for reading my Bible, and for seeing what God has to say to me and to others through it.”
“I absolutely LOVE how this group has gotten me back into the Word. The accountability strengthens my discipline, and the unified group study is so encouraging!”
Rooted in Scripture.
Ready for life.
For too long, Christians have revered the Bible without actually reading it. Many read it but stop short of living in obedient response to what God's Word teaches. That's a picture of a church with shallow roots and no backbone.
By rooting ourselves in Scripture, we develop spiritual muscle memory that will yield long-term fruit in a world that is rapidly changing. We can be people that are realistic about the struggles and hardships of life, positioned to live out the Gospel in a broken world.

This experience will be transformational for the life of our church, so we’re committing a whole year to it. However, we know that some folks may be reluctant to sign on for a year upfront. The season approach allows you to adjust your experience as needed from season to season. Plus, with new folks joining us each week, we want to have opportunities for them to jump on board.
-
5 days a week (approximately 15 minutes a day). If you miss a day or two, that’s okay! Remember, this is a guilt-free zone so you won’t need to worry about anybody hounding you for missing a day. Take this step and see how God works in your life.
-
ABSOLUTELY! Everybody starts somewhere!! This program is designed to meet you where you are, whether you're a seasoned Bible scholar or you're just getting started. Join us for this journey!
-
ABSOLUTELY! God’s Word is so good that we’re never going to mine the depths of it. Join us for this journey!
-
Season One registration will be open until December 12th, and our team will wait to finalize all groups until then. Group details will be sent out to participants the week of December 13th, well in advance of the Season One launch on January 3rd.

Nope! The guide will be a helpful tool to facilitate your Daily Time with Jesus, but if you would use a different journal (or none at all) that's okay too. The key is that each time you engage with God's Word that you go through the Request, Read, and Respond elements (regardless of whether or not you use the guide we'll provide).
-
Many of our existing men's, women's, and existing groups have jumped onboard the NT260 model for 2022. Talk to your group leader to learn more about their plan to be involved (or not) with NT260 as a group.

Yes, please! This will ensure that you receive any church-wide communication regarding NT260. Pastor Joshua and our team will be sharing resources and encouragement along the way, and we don't want you to miss out.
