Good Friday
Friday, April 3 • 5:30, 7:00pm
Good Friday is a sacred time to remember the depth of Christ’s love displayed at the cross. As we gather, we’ll sing together, observe Communion, and hear a compelling message centered on a historical figure who once stood face-to-face with Jesus. Through this story, we’ll reflect on the sobering reality of spiritual death and the life-giving hope of redemption found in Him.

Easter Services
Saturday, April 4 • 5:00pm
Sunday, April 5 • 8:00, 9:30, 11:00am
This Easter, we celebrate what it means to be Finally Alive. The resurrection of Jesus changed everything. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords has risen. Death is defeated. The grave is empty. He is risen!
Maybe you’ve felt spiritually stuck, distant, or unsure what you believe. Easter is our reminder that because He lives, new life is possible. “O death, where is your sting?” is no longer a question of despair—but a declaration of victory.
Join us as we worship and celebrate our risen Savior and the new life found in Christ. Come discover what it means to be Finally Alive. Alleluia!
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring?
Pastor Mike will be preaching verse-by-verse from a passage of Scripture, so following along in your own copy of the Bible will help you stay engaged. If you don’t have a Bible of your own, there are copies available near your seat. Grab one and take it home!
What should I wear?
You’ll see a diversity of clothing at any given Sunday service, including Easter. There is no dress code, so come as you are and wear what is comfortable for you.
What about my kids?
- Good Friday Services: Self-serve nursery is available.
- Easter Services: Nursery will be available during our 5:00 pm Saturday Service and all three Sunday Services. Soteria Kids’ Classes are available at 8:00 am and 9:30 am, and Soteria Students is offered at 9:30 am on Sunday.
What if my baby starts crying?
We love children and love having them in our services. A jabbering baby doesn’t bother us! If you need to step out, we have a nursery room with a changing table, diapers, rocking chairs, toys, and TVs that live stream the service so you won’t miss out.
What ministries do you have for my family?
During our Easter Services (or on any other Sunday), our Soteria Kids’ ministry offers classes for children through 5th grade during our 8:00 am and 9:30 am services. Nursery for children under the age of 2 is available during all four Easter services. We also offer classes for our Soteria Students in middle school and high school during the 9:30 am service.
What security policies do you have in place to keep my kids safe?
We take your kids’ safety very seriously by doing full background checks on every adult serving with Soteria Kids. After you check in your kids at our kiosk, one of our trained volunteers will help you and your kids get to the right room.
Can my child join me for worship?
Your child is more than welcome to stay with you during the service.
