The last and only surviving apostle has been exiled to an island prison where his spirit is beginning to sink. Suddenly he is confronted with a vision of the crucified, resurrected and glorified King Jesus. In his own description Jesus declares: “I am he who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am ALIVE FOREVERMORE. Amen! And I have the keys of Hades and of Death!” Come and join us as we celebrate Jesus Christ-ALIVE FOREVERMORE!

This year for Easter we are having a Good Friday service (Infant – 3 years old childcare provided) on Friday, March 29th at 6:30pm to reflect on the agony of the cross followed by Easter on Sunday, March 31st with the celebration of the resurrection of the Savior! We are encouraging everyone to attend both services.

On Sunday there will be two services at 8:30am and 10:15am with a continental breakfast a half hour before both services.

Easter Schedule:

First Service Breakfast – 8:00am
First Service – 8:30am
Second Service Breakfast – 9:45am
Second Service – 10:15am

If you are coming to the breakfast, please come to the one before the service you will be attending. This will help us with parking, space and overall flow.
