Join us to celebrate Easter Sunday 2026
Sunday, April 5
Worship at 9:00 + 11:00 AM
+ Egg Hunt following each service!
We’re taking Easter on the road...
This Easter, we’re heading to East Lincoln High School, and we’re doing it on purpose!
Because of construction on our building and our hope to make room for one more person, we’re taking Easter worship and our egg hunt to a location that can host all y’all - and your friends, neighbors, and family. The stadium gives us more seats, more parking, and more opportunity than we’ve ever had before.
PREPARE
What comes first?
In the weeks leading up to Easter, we want to pray together, asking God:
- Who is my one more person? How can I invite them?
- How can I grow closer to You in this Easter season?
- Would you lead me to serve others and look more like You today than I did yesterday?
- Will you guide and protect our plans to host Easter at the stadium this year, so that those who don’t know you would be able to come and hear about Jesus?
How can I prepare my heart?
Check our our Lent resources for a song playlist + guide through praying the Psalms, which will help prepare your heart for Easter!
It’s never too late to jump in.
What can I expect in the service?
• A powerful outdoor family-style worship experience - around an hour of prayer, worship, a message, and some fun for the whole family.
Note - We will have no Kidventure programming. Kids + adults worship together in the stands.
• Paper lyrics and message notes will be provided as you enter; we won’t have a screen like usual.
• An Easter egg hunt following the service for all kids up to 5th grade. (Around 10 - 10:30 am + 12 - 12:30 pm)
• Whatever weather April brings! (sun, wind, cool temps) Dress accordingly and consider bringing layers.
• Arrive early! Especially if you need accessible seating on the track or have strollers to navigate.
Where do I park?
You can arrive to the stadium from Hwy 73 and N Little Egypt Rd. to park in the largest main lot.
To ensure a smooth morning and safety, follow signage + parking volunteers directions.
Arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow for time to park + finding a seat!
You’ll follow signs to enter through the home gate, then we’ll all exit through the away gate after each service or egg hunt.
What can I bring?
We are grateful for the hospitality of ELHS! We’ll do all we can to respect their space, and that includes adhering to their policies around what we can/cannot bring onto school grounds. Please review these guidelines and make plans to leave anything prohibitted by the school at home.
What to bring:
• Comfortable shoes (no high heels will be allowed on the field/turf)
• Weather-appropriate layers
• Sunscreen + sunglasses
• Water + snacks are welcome!
• Optional padded seat or blanket
Leave at home:
• Firearms or weapons of any kind
• Alcohol, tabacco products, or vapes
What about my kids?
Our worship service will be family style (no childcare or separate kids programming), with opportunities for kids to get involved!
As soon as each service concludes, kids birth - 5th grade are invited down onto the field for an egg hunt! Bring your own basket to collect the eggs!
Parents may accompany their child (littles should have a parent), just remember - no high heels on the turf!
We know - the kids will want to check out their goodies as soon as the hunt is over! But we’ve got to get ready to welcome everyone for the 11 am service or clean up the stadium at the end of the day. Please help our serve teams by exiting the stadium promptly after the egg hunt.
Youth (6th - 12th grade) will have a table with sweet treats somewhere in the stadium. Look out for the signs and stop by after the service for a snack + to hang with the youth leaders!
Is it safe and accessible?
To honor the ELHS weapon-free campus policy and ensure the safety of everyone in attendance on Easter, every person who enters the stadium will pass through the scanners at the home gate upon entry.
Accessible seating will be available on the track - strollers and wheelchairs can make their way down to the track using the ramps around the stadium. Arrive early to allow for time to get to your seat.
SERVE
It takes all of us to host Easter at the stadium, and you don’t want to miss out on the fun! From parking teams to greeters and ushers, from setting up chairs to hiding eggs, every role creates space for someone to encounter Jesus.
Maybe serving looks like:
• Handing out programs or taking photos
• Helping people find their seats
• Setting up the egg hunt
• Parking cars and greeting guests
We’ll need folks throughout the weekend - setting up on Saturday, early Sunday morning, all the way through the afternoon, and every person makes a difference! Let’s ask God how He wants to use us — and then say yes.

INVITE
This year, we have more space than we’ve ever had before, and we want to invite all our ‘one more persons’ to join us.
In the weeks leading up to Easter, let’s pray: God, Who is my one more person? Who in my life needs hope this Easter? Give me courage to invite them.
Our team has curated a special collection of digital invitation materials for you to use and we’ll have invitation cards at church for you to take home throughout the month of March.
What if it rains?
Easter will be at East Lincoln High School, rain or shine.
If weather requires it, we will move the service indoors to the gym. Either way, we’ll worship together in a family-style service at ELHS.
Do I need tickets?
No registration is required. Just arrive early and invite someone!
Can I watch services online if I can’t attend in person?
Absolutely! We won’t be livestreaming our services, but we will record it for you to watch after if you’re unable to attend.
