The Sovereign Hope Church Bible Reading app provides a structured, daily reading plan to church members, visitors, and all who are interested.

At Sovereign Hope Church, we believe the Bible is the Word of God and is therefore our ultimate authority in all matters of faith and practice. The Bible consists of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, has been intentionally given to us by God, and alone constitutes the verbally inspired Word of God. The Bible is therefore completely true, sufficient, beneficial, joy-producing, powerful and without error in the original manuscripts.
