Easter at Cross of Grace Church
Come and experience God’s love for you.
Discover How Deep God’s Love Really Is
This Easter, you’re invited to pause and consider a question that matters: Does God really love you?
Easter is a time to reflect on the depth of that love, seen in the sacrifice of Jesus, and to discover the hope that flows from His resurrection. In a world that can feel dark, the message of Easter shines with grace, forgiveness, and new life. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive.
Come experience the love of God and the hope of the Risen King this Easter.
Good Friday
Does God really love us? Remembering the death of Jesus is a time for reflection and deep gratitude. Join us as we pause together to consider just how deep and personal God’s love truly is.
We’ll gather at 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm at Cross of Grace for our Good Friday services. This is a free, ticketed event to ensure seating for everyone. Let us know you’re coming below.
Easter Sunday
In a world of darkness, Easter Sunday shines out with power, salvation, and hope. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive. Come and celebrate the Risen King.
We'll gather at 9:00 am at the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre to rejoice all together in one service. Learn more about what to expect below.
Easter in the Canyon
Our Service
Our service will take place outdoors in the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre, set in the beautiful setting of the Franklin Mountains.

Expect an hour and a half of music, singing, Scripture readings, preaching, and good news.
Kids Activities
Kids are welcome in our Easter service and it will be engaging for the whole family. We’ll hand out age-appropriate activity bags and activity sheets to kids as they enter the theater but we also encourage parents to bring activities for their children.
After our service, we’ll have a party in the outdoor plaza where kids can expect activities like balloon animals, a photo spot, and face painting.
