Scripture of the Year

Each year Mountain City Church identifies a scripture passage to be a theme for the year. We seek to select a text that aligns with the unique challenges and opportunities we sense our church is encountering. Our hope is that as we meditate on the passage over an extended season, God will more deeply write His word on our hearts. By doing this together as a church family, we’re seeking to make this passage a rallying point that we can unite around.

We encourage the Mountain City family to incorporate this text into your personal study of scripture throughout the year, to pray through the text repeatedly, and to commit the passage to memory. At some point each year, we have a sermon series to study and unpack the text together.

Each year we also select a book that connects with the ideas in the passage and create opportunities for people to discuss the book together. Our hope is that as we read and discuss the book in community, it helps us think through how we can apply the passage in our life.

We also identify a song that connects with the passage and sing it regularly throughout the year. As we do this, we are seeking to glorify God by praising Him for the specific truths in the passage as we celebrate them together in worship.
