“The Bible is central to our faith but many people are intimidated by its scope and size. The Storygives us a way to journey from Genesis to Revelation together in 31 weeks so everyone understands God’s story and how their story intersects with it.” - Jeff Brooks, Senior Minister

The Bible is the best-selling book in history, but how many people in Bartlesville are actually reading it? A Gallup survey reports the average American household has four Bibles. However, research by Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (2008) found that only 16 percent of Americans read the Bible every day.
The Lake Cities Church of Christ is hoping to reverse this trend, starting with its own congregation. We believe that The Story is the right tool to increase biblical literacy, helping readers understand God’s story from Genesis to Revelation and how their own stories intersect with God’s. Consisting of 31 chapters of carefully-selected scriptures, and sequenced in chronological order, The Story presents the word of God in an engaging format, reading like a novel.
We want the people in our congregation, as well as the cities around us, to realize the incredible love God has for them and how their story is found in His story.
The Story Church Campaign is a unique program providing 31 weeks of curriculum for children, teens, and adults. When accompanied by reading through the five age-related books (The Story, The Story: Teen Edition, The Story for Kids, The Story for Children, and The Story for LittleOnes), all participants can be literally on the same page for 31 weeks. Lake Cities Church of Christ will begin the experience on February 5th.
We would like to walk through the story of scripture together as a family. Each family will be provided a copy of The Story to read together in the home. Our Sunday morning Bible classes for children and teens will cover a chapter of The Story each week. Our Sunday morning sermon will focus the corresponding chapter as well. In addition, we will be meeting on Wednesday nights in homes to study the Bible together.
Sunday Bible Classes start at 9 a.m. Morning Worship begins at 10 a.m., and Wednesday Night Home Bible Studies meet at various times. Come experience The Story of God's great love for us!
