by Element Christian Church

Easter April 8th/9th
Easter Services

Sunday April 9th, 2023
9a & 10:45a
Celebrate Resurrection Sunday with us during our normal service times. Early arrival recommended to ensure seating.

Saturday Eve Service – April 8th, 2023 at 6p
Celebrate with us Easter Eve if you would like to avoid the Sunday crowd or if you would like to volunteer your time to serve in one of our classrooms Sunday morning. As this service is intended for those without kids and those who will be serving Easter Sunday, we will not have any children’s programs during this time.

Good Friday April 7th, 6p
Good Friday

Join us as we worship, reflect, and give thanks for the sacrifice made on the cross by our Savior. Good Friday is the day that commemorates Christ's sacrifice on the cross. It is a prelude to Easter and a way to remember Jesus' suffering and the resurrection power that will be given to followers of Christ to enable us to truly love one another.

Childcare will be available for ages birth-Kindergarten only.

 

Thailand Info Meeting & Scholarship Opportunity

by Element Christian Church

Watch our info meeting from the team that went to Thailand last year...

 Here is more information about our Scholarship Program:

Scholarship Information

Location & Service Times

by Element Christian Church

Sundays: In person at 9:00 & 10:45am.

Kid's Programs for ages birth-5th grade are available during both 9 & 10:45am services. Middle School+ which consists of grades 6-9 is only at our 10:45am service.

Live-Stream happens of our 9:00am service only.

Our intent is to worship God in the following ways: Fellowship, Music, Teaching, Communion, Prayer, Service, and Laughter.

  • Fellowship: We are gathering today as a corporate group to encounter God together.
     
  • Music: We sing songs that speak of God's desire and ours for knowing Him better.
     
  • Teaching: We learn from the Scriptures truths that apply to our lives today, just as they did when the Scriptures were originally written.
     
  • Communion: We take time to focus on Jesus, and His sacrifice for us, then actively partake of the elements which remind us of this sacrifice.
     
  • Giving: We give back to God as He has so graciously given to us (we do not pass a plate, there are offering boxes stationed around the room for you to give).

The Weekender (Fall Class)

The Weekender is a 2-day event intended for anyone who wants to move beyond simply attending services and explore how to get better connected. Friday night includes dinner with staff, elders, and other leaders, as well as an introduction to Element’s vision and core values. On Saturday morning, we’ll share the theological beliefs that shape those values, how your role and spiritual gifts can fit within our community, and answer any questions you might have.

While attending The Weekender is a prerequisite to becoming a Member of Element Christian Church, attendees are not required to become Members.

Childcare and meals will be provided both days.
Day 2 will actually end around 12:30p followed by inviting the children to join in for a lunch all together.

Please sign up here so we can prepare food and childcare adequately.
