Discover Hope and Joy in Jesus this Easter
Have you ever wondered what the Easter long weekend is all about? Why do we pause and remember Jesus—a guy who died two-thousand years ago? What’s worth celebrating about that?
And as for the resurrection—it sounds ludicrous! What good reason do we have to believe it’s true? And what significance does it have if it is true?
This Easter we’ll be examining the central claim of Christianity—the profound world-changing reality of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
We can’t wait to celebrate the hope and joy of Easter with you, your friends and family! Explore the meaning of Easter as you engage with God’s word in the Bible.
There will be baptisms, hot cross buns, chocolate eggs, good coffee, good company, and the chance to hear why Easter is a wonderful time of hope and joy!

Easter Baptisms
We love baptism! Baptism is a wonderful opportunity to express your faith in Christ and celebrate the new life he has given you through his death and resurrection. It's also a wonderful time for our church family to be reminded that Jesus changes lives.
We’ll be holding baptisms on Good Friday. If you're interested in being baptised, let us know and we’ll get in touch!
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead”
