We Know Christ
Through God's Word!
In 2011, we celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the first publication of the Authorized Version, or King James Version of the Bible in the English Language. Translations of the scriptures into English were done many years before 1611. However, it was the King James Version that made the Bible so accessible to the masses, and which remained so popular among English speakers for centuries. In this anniversary year, it is appropriate to celebrate our easy access to God's Word in our own language, and to make the best use of all the resources available to us to explore and apply that Word of God in our lives.
Part of our mission is to "know Christ," and the best way to get to know Him is through the glorious gift of God's Word. To help others study the Bible, we have compiled several resources. At the bottom of this page is an on-line Bible search program as well as a link to The Revised Common Lectionary.
