Easter 2018

Regardless of our backgrounds or current life circumstances, we all are drawn to stories of hope, joy, and redemption. We love when good triumphs over evil. 

Whether you enjoy the beauty and majesty of Forest Park's historic World's Fair Pavilion at sunrise or the tradition of Easter in Central's sanctuary, we encourage you to invite your family, friends, and neighbors to join you and hear the gospel proclaimed and celebrate with us this ultimate story of "hope rising." 

The Resurrection

At Easter we celebrate the fulfillment of the gospel on the cross and at the empty tomb. But there's one event that separates those two—the resurrection.

Easter Week Details

Good Friday | Mar 30, 7pm

The Good Friday service is a "tenebrae" service. Tenebrae means "darkness" or "shadows", and focuses our attentions on Christ's sufferings. Readings trace the story of Christ's passion, and are designed to remind us of the solemnity and weight of our Savior's sacrifice for us.
