Two gatherings exploring the most influential story in history.
WHAT IF THE STORY OF JESUS
IS ACTUALLY TRUE?
For two thousand years the events of the first Easter have shaped history, inspired movements, and changed countless lives.
At the centre of the story is a man named Jesus.
He was executed publicly outside Jerusalem.
Three days later His followers claimed the tomb was empty and that they had seen Him alive.
If that claim is true, it changes everything.
This Easter we are exploring two powerful encounters with Jesus recorded in the Gospels. Each moment reveals something essential about forgiveness, hope, and what it means to follow Him.
Whether you are curious about faith, exploring Christianity for the first time, or simply asking deeper questions about life, you are very welcome.
Good Friday
Friday 3 April, 11am
A dying criminal turns to Jesus with nothing left to offer.
In the final hours of Jesus’ life, one unexpected conversation reveals the heart of the Christian message: forgiveness is possible, but it comes at a cost.
Text: Luke 23:39–43
Theme: Grace for the undeserving
This reflective service will explore how the death of Jesus makes forgiveness possible and why the cross still matters today.
Easter Sunday
Sunday 5th April, 11am
A grieving woman comes to a tomb expecting silence.
Instead she hears her name.
Mary Magdalene becomes the first witness to the resurrection of Jesus — the event that launched the Christian movement and changed history.
If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then everything He said about life, truth, and following Him deserves serious attention.
Text: John 20:11–18
Theme: Hope stronger than death
