Upcoming events
The Good Friday Promise
The Good Friday Promise Friday, April 3 | 5PM to 7:30PM
Before we celebrate Sunday, we remember Friday.
Join us for The Good Friday Promise, a reflective evening experience designed to slow you down and draw you in. Doors are open from 5PM to 7:30PM, so come and go as your evening allows. Walk through self-guided stations around our worship center at your own pace, taking time to sit with the weight of what Jesus did on the cross and what it means for you personally.
This is a space to be honest about sin and brokenness, to look at the cross without looking away, and to receive the staggering truth that your shame has been paid in full. Not in a general, distant way, but personally. Completely. Once and for all.
Good Friday is not easy to sit with, and that is exactly the point. The death of Christ was not a tragedy to move past quickly. It was the moment everything changed. This experience gives you the time and space to let that reality land before we gather on Sunday to celebrate that He did not stay in the grave.
Come ready to reflect. Come ready to receive. And come knowing that what was promised on Friday makes Sunday worth everything.
Friday, April 3 | Open 5PM to 7:30PM | Self-Guided
Easter Service | 9am
Easter Sunday Sunday, April 5 | 9AM & 11AM

Join us Easter morning for one of two services as we gather to worship, hear an inspiring Easter message, and share in the joy of Resurrection Sunday together. This is the Sunday that changes everything, and we want you to experience it with a community that’s genuinely glad you are here.
Come as you are. Bring your family, bring a friend, bring someone who needs to hear the best news the world has ever known. Whether you have been coming for years or have never stepped through our doors, there is a place for you at the celebration this Easter.
We will worship together, celebrate, and be reminded together that death did not have the last word. Sunday morning did.
