NIC Reading the Bible in 1 Year Support Group

Location: Online via Zoom

Reading The Bible In A Year 2026 Banner

Join others in the Northern Illinois Conference in reading the Bible in one year! 

The Northern Illinois Conference Committee on Discipleship and Spiritual Formation (CDSF) invites congregations to make regular Scripture reading part of their spiritual practice in 2026.

Reading Plan

The yearlong plan begins in January and follows the Bible in chronological order, arranging readings in the sequence events are believed to have occurred—for example, moving from Genesis to Job and then back to Genesis. Click here to view the full-year reading calendar.

 Support Groups

To support this journey, a monthly conference-wide support group will meet via Zoom on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Facilitated by members of the CDSF, these gatherings offer encouragement, space to reflect on your experience, and opportunities to share insights with others. Please note that this is a support group—not a Bible study. Facilitators will guide conversation around what participants are learning, what is challenging, and how the practice is shaping their faith.

Participants may join the group at any time during the year-long reading process.
Registration is recommended as additional information and resources are shared with registered participants.
