⬇️ Start here ⬇️
We know that coming to a church for the first time can be intimidating, so we've set up a process to make your experience as seamless as possible! When you click any of the "plan my visit" buttons on this page, it will ask you to fill out some simple contact information, and from there, someone on our team will reach out and answer any questions you have. When you arrive, we'll meet you at the door!
You are invited to join us!
Good Friday Service
Friday, April 18th — 6:30 pm
During our Good Friday Service, we read the account of Jesus' execution from the Bible, and we sing songs that draw our minds and hearts to the meaning of the cross. As we progress through each scene in the story, a candle is extinguished until all nine are snuffed out and we leave in silence.
☑️ A simplified nursery will be provided in the Fireside Room.
☑️ Kid activity bags will be available at the back of the sanctuary.
NextGen Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday, April 20th — 10:00 am
🍬🍬🍬 Your kids will have a ton of fun at our free Easter Egg Hunt! Our team sets out hundreds of eggs filled with prepackaged candy, and at 10:00 am we unleash the youngest kiddos to start collecting the goodies. Once they get a head start, we turn the older kids loose. We have team members who ensure no one gets left behind or leaves empty handed!
🍩🍩🍩 The Easter Egg Hunt takes about 15 minutes, and once all the eggs have been collected, there will be coffee, donut holes, and other treats in the main foyer before the service starts.
For safety reasons, we require all children to be checked in before using the nursery. When you plan your visit and pre-register your child, we will enter their information in our system before you arrive and even have check-in stickers printed for you. No standing in line on Easter Sunday!
Easter Sunday Worship Service
Sunday, April 20th — 10:30 am
Join us on Easter Sunday to celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead and has defeated death itself! During the service, you will experience both new and familiar Easter songs, a special children's message, and a sermon that connects the resurrection of Jesus to our everyday life in the modern world.
✅ Coffee, donut holes, and other treats starting at 10:00 am.
✅ A nursery will be provided for kids ages 0-2.
✅ Kid activity bags will be available at the back of the sanctuary.
We're excited to meet you!
If you plan your visit and come to Elmwood as our guest, we'll have a free gift set aside just for you 🙂
What should I wear?
When you arrive at Elmwood, you'll experience a casual environment. Some people wear jeans (including Pastor John 🤓), some wear T-shirts, some wear dresses, and some wear button-up shirts. No need to dress to the nines, unless you really want to!
