Easter at Community of Hope ✝️
Come and experience the good news of resurrection this Easter with us.
Our Hope Has Not Died; God Is Alive
At Community of Hope, we invite you to experience the power and hope of Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join us for a meaningful and inspiring Easter weekend filled with worship, reflection, and fellowship.
We offer two services: a 7:00 a.m. outdoor sunrise service (weather permitting), which is deeply powerful, and a 9:30 a.m. Easter worship service in our sanctuary.
Below you’ll find more details about our Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services and our family Easter events, including our Easter Egg Hunt.

Good Friday – Contemplative Service at the Cross
On April 3, 2026 join us on Good Friday as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross in a quiet, contemplative service of Scripture, reflection, and song—preparing our hearts for the joy of Easter morning.
