2026 Bible Reading Plan

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, [17] that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16–17 ESV)

One thing that can honestly be said about Veritas Church is that we are a people who love the Bible. We love spending time in God’s Word, we love learning from God’s Word, we love meditating on God’s Word.

In 2025, several members of Veritas Church read through the entire Bible chronologically using the CSB Chronological Bible Reading Plan. This reading plan allowed us to see how the entire Bible shares one consistent story of God’s work redeeming all things to Himself through the person and the work of Jesus Christ.

In 2026, we would like to change things up a little bit. Instead of reading through the Bible chronologically, we are going to read through the Bible using a Bible Reading Plan that was put together by one of our Covenant Partners. This plan assigns chapters in the Old Testament, Wisdom Literature, and New Testament every day. Reading the Bible this way allows the reader to experience the richness of Old Testament history as well as the beauty of the New Testament simultaneously.

Another benefit of the Bible Reading Plan that we will use this year is that you can choose to read the entire plan as assigned OR you can choose to read a single category of the plan. We understand that reading 4 chapters every day can be difficult during some phases of life, so this plan allows the reader to customize their experience based on their current needs.

So, join us! Click here to download the 2026 Bible Reading Plan. If you would prefer an easier-to-read version, you can click here to view a different format that contains all of the assigned chapters for January 2026.

Lastly, I want to invite you to join our 2026 Bible Reading Signal Group chat. One of the healthiest ways to read God’s Word is by reading it in community with other believers. I cannot tell you how beneficial the 2025 Signal Chat was for my personal growth and development. Veritas Church members were able to chat with one another every day about highlights from the text, we were able to share questions about difficult passages, or we were able to simply encourage one another to just keep reading. Click here to join our Signal chat or email me at samantha@veritasfayetteville.com for further instructions.

I look forward to reading the Bible with you in 2026!

On the Podcast: Tattooing as Evangelism

We love having the opportunity to highlight our Covenant Partners and their work! Meet Olivia, a Covenant Partner and professional tattooer here in Fayetteville. In this podcast episode, Olivia shares how she came to know the Lord, how she entered the tattooing profession, and how her work gives her a unique opportunity to evangelize to people who may not yet know Him. She also recounts a moving story about a former client with whom she discussed the Christian faith.

Along with this, there are opportunities to serve as Sidewalk Volunteer or Volunteer Mentor. If you’re interested in supporting Hand of Hope, please reach out to the Site Director, Michele Dove at michele@handofhope.net 

Community Christmas Market

Another exciting opportunity for Veritas is the Community Christmas Market we will organize and host for Saturday, December 6, 9a-12p. This Christmas Market will allow us to reach out and connect with the local neighborhood and schools.

Meet Reagan

We are excited to share that Reagan Fick has joined our staff team as our new Veritas Kids Director! Get to know Reagan by reading a little bit about her below.

What first brought you to Veritas?
My husband and I moved to North Carolina in February of 2024. A mutual contact invited us to join them on the first Sunday we were here, and we instantly knew this was where God was calling us to call our church home!

Tell us about your role at Veritas.
I am very excited to step into the role of Veritas Kids Director! Weekly, I will be connecting with new volunteers, preparing classrooms and resources, and continuing to train and support current volunteers. Overall, my job is to prepare Veritas Kids to be a safe place for kids to come and learn about the Gospel!

What are some of your hobbies?
My hobbies change often, but my current hobbies include baking, sewing, and playing guitar!

What’s your favorite beverage?
I primarily drink ice water (you will rarely see me without my pink cup!), but I also love lemonade!

What is your favorite dish to cook?
I love cooking almost anything, but Tex-Mex is definitely my favorite! My current obsession is flautas or fajitas!

Meet Cassie

We are excited to share that Cassie Dows has joined our staff team as our new Administrative Assistant! Get to know Cassie by reading a little bit about her below.

What first brought you to Veritas?
When we moved to NC in 2021, I was struggling to find a church home. The youth pastor from our previous church in Show Low, Arizona recommended Veritas. He had never attended here but had heard from a friend that it was a great church. By the time I left the first service we attended, I knew we had found a church home.

Tell us about your role at Veritas.
I am blessed with the opportunity to serve as the Administrative Assistant here at Veritas. I only just started here on the August 11th, so I am busy learning all things Veritas, including how to connect with 1st time guests, those interested in serving, and adding upcoming events to the church calendar.

What are some of your hobbies?
I have more hobbies than I have time to keep up with. I like to read, write, cook, bake, garden, sew/quilt, draw, paint (creative and house), craft; if it's creative, I probably enjoy it!

What’s your favorite beverage?
My favorite beverage is ice water, but I also love HOT coffee (I cannot fathom cold coffee as a choice rather than a consequence of busyness).

What is the last fiction book that you read?
It is hard to say what the last one I read was. I am usually reading at least two books at a time. I read aloud with my youngest son quite a bit, and we recently finished Ranger's Apprentice: Halt's Peril by John Flanagan. I am currently in the midst of a re-read of one of my favorite series that is 15 books long, but I also just started Dune by Frank Herbert.
