Easter at Arise Church

Easter is a significant time of acknowledgement, reflection and celebration of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ – God’s greatest demonstration of love towards humanity.

“As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord!” – John‬ 20‬:20‬

This is the Good News!

This Easter you are invited to a special service at Arise: He's Alive - Evidence of the Resurrection.

The impact of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is till reverberating throughout history.

His victory has bought us freedom.

Join us as we discover what it means for each one of us!

Kid’s Easter Programme

Arise Kids are learning about God's unfolding story throughout the Bible over the Easter season, in our series called Journey to the Cross!

On Easter Sunday, the kids will be learning all about Jesus! Focusing on his ministry and why we celebrate Easter. Jesus’ life, his death and resurrection are what the whole Bible points to. Everything hinges on what happens at Easter. Because of Jesus – EVERYTHING changes forevermore.

Our Kid’s programmes are for all kids aged 1-11. Look out for the dedicated Kid’s area to sign in your children on the day. Our kids' leaders are all police-vetted and are trained to facilitate fun and safe environments for kids to play & learn.

For those with children under 1, there is a Parent's Room available where you can watch the main service with other parents and children under 1. This space has clean and age-appropriate toys for your kids to enjoy, as well as private spaces to feed your child if required.
