Easter Weekend 2025

Start a New Tradition this Easter

Bring your whole family for three inspirational days of remembrance and celebration!

Good Friday
April 18 at 6:30 p.m.

Begin your Easter weekend with a special experience on Good Friday.

We will journey together through the days and hours before Jesus’ death. This will be different than any service we have done before. We pray it will be a meaningful and powerful time of remembrance as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Sunday.

Our Good Friday service will last about 45 minutes.

Our Sunday worship gatherings typically run about 60 minutes. This is going to be an exciting day of celebration and you’ll wonder where the time went!
