1BC Kids Volunteers We are finalizing our 2026 teams to serve in our nursery, little sprouts, treehouse, and with the elementary kids. If you are willing to serve as a classroom aide or want to learn more about teaching a class, see Pastor Bobby.

Bible Reading Plans We want to give you a tool to help you spend more time in God’s Word this year. At the Welcome Center, you will find copies of a simple Bible reading plan. This plan walks through the New Testament one chapter at a time, 5 days a week, over the course of a year. In Psalm 119, the Psalmist says, “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Our prayer is that as you read, you too will taste the sweetness of God’s Word.

Happy New Year As one year ends and a new year begins, we are encouraged that our Lord never changes.
