What To Expect

Church isn’t just a building—it’s real people finding purpose and exploring more about Jesus, no perfection needed. Join us Easter Sunday, April 20! Pick from: Sunrise Service at 7a in the pavilion out back—a short, outdoor time with songs and a talk on Jesus’ resurrection hope as the sun rises. Or our two main services at 8:30a or 10:15a (both identical, your choice)—live music, a relatable message, and folks amped you’re here! New? No worries—come as you are and know you’re welcome. Kids? They’ll love an exciting Easter service of their own during main services (more below). Coming to an Easter service is not about having it all together—it’s about discovering hope that changes everything!

What About Kids
If you’ve got kids, we’ve got you covered! During our 8:30a and 10:15a services, SalemKids will host a special Easter experience—think games, engaging stories, and exciting music that make the day fun and show them Jesus in a way they’ll get. Our team’s friendly and ready to help your kids feel right at home while you check things out. It’s a win-win!
Why Easter Matters
Easter’s more than a holiday—it’s a chance to start over, find hope, and see what a life with Jesus could look like. Whether you’re joining us at sunrise, for a main service, or just popping in by yourself or with your family, we’re here to meet you where you are. Come hang out, bring the kids (if you got ’em!), and let’s celebrate a story that’s still changing lives—maybe even yours!

DirectionsContact Us
Before Easter Sunday, join us on Friday, April 18 at 6p for Good Friday—a special service to pause and think about what Jesus did on the cross. It’s not your typical church thing—just some meaningful worship music, a short message from our pastor that makes sense, and a chance to reflect. There is no need to know anything ahead of time—just show up and see why this matters. You’re welcome to come early at 5p for a time of prayer.
Note: Our kids will have their own Good Friday service in our Fellowship Hall! Preschool childcare will be also provided for your little ones.
