2026 Madison Reading Plan

Every three years at Madison Church we try to read the WHOLE Bible together in a year. We last completed that in 2024. In the two years between we read at a slower pace so that we can really focus on the words that we’re reading instead of trying to fly through the text at a pace of 22 chapters a week as is required to get it all done in a year. If you up for the Bible-in-a-year challenge, you can find that reading plan here, along with study notes for each week’s reading.
