About the ESV

While our church does not officially endorse any single translation as the one everyone should use, Pastor Mike prefers to preach from the ESV, and this is the version in all our pews. The English Standard Version (ESV) is an essentially literal translation of the Bible in contemporary English. Created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors, the ESV Bible emphasizes word-for-word accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning. Learn more about the ESV
