We believe that an essential part of following Jesus is regularly engaging with God through His Word. To help make that a shared and sustainable practice, we’ve launched the ANC 360 Challenge—a year-long Bible reading journey designed to help our church read through the whole Bible together.

We’ll be using the Life Application Study Bible Reading Plan on the YouVersion Bible App, which offers daily readings and helpful context to guide you along the way. Whether you’re new to reading the Bible or have done it before, this plan is designed to be accessible, meaningful, and realistic.

Follow the instructions below to get started and join us in reading Scripture together this year.

1. Download the YouVersion Bible App

On your smartphone or tablet, open the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android). Search for YouVersion Bible App and download it for free.

2. Create an Account or Sign In

Open the app and either sign in or create a free account. This allows you to save your progress and receive reminders.

3. Find the Reading Plan

Tap the Plans tab at the bottom of the app. Use the search bar to find Life Application Study Bible Devotion.

4. Start the Plan

Select the plan, then tap Start Plan. When prompted, choose “By Myself”, and select if you want it to be private or visible to friends. Enable notifications by selecting the three dots on the top of the screen and settings so you receive daily reading reminders.

5. Set a Daily Prayer Reminder

Go to the “more” menu at the bottom of the screen, select prayer and turn on reminders for prayer at a time that works best for you.

6. Daily Rhythm

Each day, open the app and go to the Home tab.
