BIBLE MEMORY
“I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against you” (Psalm 119:11). Read over our 6 year Bible Memory Program designed to help our CHBC Kids hide God’s Word in their hearts. The program was designed for children but provides a good basis for a Bible memory plan for adults as well.
