Easter: Come Back Home
April 20
Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong—like you were out of place, disconnected, or spiritually distant? Whether you’ve walked away from faith, felt let down by religion, or quietly gone through the motions of church while your heart stayed far from God, this Easter is for you.
“Come Back Home” is a message for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider looking in—at faith, at church, or even at God. In this message we’ll discover that no matter how far we’ve run, how long we’ve been gone, or how distant we feel, the Father’s heart is always open. Easter isn’t just about an empty tomb—it’s about a love that invites us out of hiding and into a relationship where we are fully known and fully loved.
This Easter, come home—not to religion, not to rules—but to the One who’s been waiting with open arms all along.

This Easter season, join us in making a meaningful impact where we live, work, play, and beyond. Our Easter Offering is a special opportunity to extend the love of Jesus through generosity, with 100% of donations directly supporting critical needs in six key areas:
Single Mom's Auto Repair - Providing reliable transportation for single mothers facing auto repair challenges
Benevolence - Meeting urgent needs for families experiencing financial hardship
Global Missions - Supporting our mission partners as they serve around the world
Church Planting - Helping new churches establish roots and grow their ministries
Local Ministry Partners - Strengthening organizations addressing community needs

Good Friday Service
April 18th | 7:00p
As we look forward to celebrating Easter, we don’t want to rush past the weight and wonder of what came before it. Good Friday is a powerful and sobering reminder of the price God paid to conquer sin and death.
It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and remember.
At our Good Friday service, you can expect:
Reflective worship to quiet your heart and focus your attention on Jesus
A message centered on the Cross, inviting us to consider the depth of His sacrifice
Communion, as we remember what His death means for each of us
Let’s come together and lean into the significance of the Cross before we celebrate the joy of the Resurrection.
