BIBLE READING GUIDE

As we journey through our Grow Up sermon series, we’re leaning into the spiritual disciplines that help us grow upward - deeper in Christ, stronger in faith, and more unified as a church family. To help us take practical steps together, we’ve created a Bible Reading Guide that will lead us all the way to Easter.

By Easter Sunday, when we will have read all four Gospels, along with daily reflections on the spiritual disciplines as they are exemplified in God’s Word. Each week, you’ll read passages that highlight the importance of worship, Scripture, prayer, fasting, giving, fellowship, and serving.

This guide is designed to help us engage with God’s Word daily, build consistent rhythms of spiritual growth, and allow the Lord to shape us from the inside out. As we read the same passages together, we’re not just growing individually - we’re growing upward together as a church.

Get your digital copy by clicking below. Paper copies are available at the Welcome Desk on Sunday mornings.

MUN BUS

We know that it can be so easy to miss out on attending church because of the inconveniences that arise as a student. In 2016 we realized that many of our students were seeking rides to and from MUN campus each Sunday, so we have been providing a bus to help students attend the 11 AM service ever since. 

This is a free transportation service for students/families/individuals who live near or on Memorial Campus.
