We're thrilled you are interested in joining us for worship on Easter Sunday!
Please plan to join us for a continental breakfast at 9:15 am. At 10 am, the main worship service will be outside under our tent (weather permitting). In Kid's Church, children will have fun with an egg hunt and a Bible lesson about Jesus' resurrection.
​
There will also be a Good Friday service on April 18 at 7 PM. Join us in celebrating Jesus' sacrifice for us. The service will include a musical play focusing on the week leading up to the crucifixion. We will also sing songs of worship and take communion together.

So, what's the big deal about Easter? It's about celebrating the greatest day in history: the day Jesus defeated death and secured eternal victory for all who would turn to him in faith.
​
Here is an acrostic using the word RESURRECTION that lists evidence that Jesus really did rise from the dead:
​
Radical change in Jesus' disciples
Jesus’ followers instantly went from cowardly to bold.
​
Eyewitnesses
Over 500 eyewitnesses saw Jesus alive (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). Many of them were killed for sharing this testimony. They would not have done this for a lie.
​
Scriptures recorded early
The New Testament was written while the eyewitnesses were still alive. This rules out the possibility of myth-making.
​
United witness
All New Testament authors attest to the same events.
​
Resurrection foretold by Jesus
It was part of God’s plan (Matt. 16:21, Luke 9:22, Mark 8:31-32)
​
Report of ancient historians
Josephus (a 1st-century Jewish historian) and Tacitus (a 1st-century historian of the Roman Empire) both mention the resurrection of Jesus.
​
Empty tomb
Where did the body go? No one had a motive for removing it.
​
Changed lives
Billions of people have experienced new life through faith in Jesus.
​
Truth issues
Jesus’ disciples believed that God rejects liars (John 14:6, Rev 21:8; 22:15). Why would they then perpetuate a lie?
​
Infilling of the Holy Spirit
Jesus said he would send the Holy Spirit to his followers (John 16:7, Eph 1:18-22, Rom 8:11). Millions attest to this experience today.
​
Opponents converted
Saul of Tarsus, James (Jesus's half-brother), and many other hostile skeptics have come to faith through examining the evidence and personal encounters with the living Christ.
​
No other possible explanation for all of the above!
