Good Friday and Easter Events
Who is Jesus? Why does his death and resurrection, which occurred over 2,000 years ago, continue to bring new life to people around the world today? We invite you to join us for our Good Friday and Easter Sunday services as we contemplate and celebrate his perfect life, death in place of people like us, triumphant resurrection, and victory over sin and death!
Good Friday Service
April 18, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Join us for a one-hour service as we meditate upon our Savior’s sufferings through a combination of Scripture readings, songs, a brief sermon titled He Was Accused from Matthew 26:57-68, and the Lord’s Supper. As we come together for this service to remember Calvary, we look forward with eager anticipation to celebrating our Lord’s resurrection on Easter morning. The service will be livestreamed.
