how do i get into christianity?

long story short, i was an atheist all my life. i’ve been going through a lot lately and i felt so hopeless but then all of a sudden i started thinking about god randomly and i kinda felt like everything was gonna be okay… i cant explain it well and i don’t know if i’m going to be christian but i want to know more about him. also church isn’t an option… and do i have to read the bible? sorry i’m new to all this stuff. any help or advice would be appreciated!! bye
