We've all heard the Easter story. We know about the last supper, Jesus's trial, and crucifixion. We know that He was in the grave for 3 days before He rose again. But do you know what Jesus did once He was alive again? Who did he talk to? Where did he go on that first Resurrection Sunday? On Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us a different kind of Easter story, the kind less likely told. 

Preparing our hearts for Easter begins by remembering the reason why Jesus died. Join us for our traditional Good Friday service as we reflect on Jesus's sacrifice on the cross as well as share in a special time of communion.
