Celebrate Easter with us at 7:30, 9:00 or 10:30 AM

Join us on Easter Sunday, April 5 at 7:30, 9:00, or 10:30 AM for a powerful day of worship as we celebrate the cornerstone of our faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ!


Easter is not just a holiday; it’s a celebration of the ultimate victory over sin and death. It’s a time for reflection, renewal, and rejoicing in the promise of eternal life.


Bring your family and friends to share in this special occasion! We have age-appropriate programming for kids (birth through 5th grade) during the 9:00 and 10:30 AM services, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for our youngest worshippers.

Good Friday Meal & Service

On Friday, April 3, at 6:00 PM, we invite you to gather in the Youth Center for a special evening of fellowship and reflection. Enjoy a delicious meal catered by Agape.


Following the meal, we will gather in the Worship Center for a time of worship, devotion, and communion at 7:00 PM.


All ages are welcome! Bring your family and friends as we come together to remember Jesus' sacrifice on Good Friday, April 3.

NOTE: Registration is NOT required for the service at 7:00 PM.

We're Hiring!

Help us hire our next Worship Arts Ministry Coordinator.


Kelli Bryan will be stepping down from her role to pursue more time with her family. For the past 6 years, Kelli has been serving our teams - her enthusiasm, work ethic, and attention to detail have been EXACTLY what we needed in our ministry and staff team. We could not have asked for better ministry support, and we have all felt the positive impact she has had on us!


While we certainly will miss having Kelli in this role, it is exciting to have the opportunity to add a new part-time staff member to our team! We are actively seeking qualified candidates to be considered for this position. Check out the job posting listed on our website at worthingtoncc.org/jobs. 


Do you know someone who may be interested? We invite you to share this opportunity with your network to help us find this essential member of our team. We also encourage you to take a moment, in the days and weeks to come, to thank Kelli for serving in this role. Her last day is April 30.  


If you have any questions, please reach out to our HR Director, Gina Jacob at gjacob@worthingtoncc.org.

Men's Event: The Power of Our Story on March 22

WATSON GROUP

A group for parents of Middle and High Schoolers will meet from 6:00 to 7:30 PM on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of the month — the same night as the Middle School youth meet.


We will meet in the Green Room off the Worship Center stage. Bill and Jenny Watson will lead. This group is not part of the Youth Ministry. All parents are welcome to join us!

Women's Bible Study: Why Do We Need the Bible?

Have you ever wondered how we got the Bible? Or ask yourself if we can really trust that the Bible is God’s Word? Why do we have so many translations? Do I really need to read all of God’s Word? How does God use His Word in my life today?


The Bible is a wonderful book filled with poetry, historical events, exciting narratives, and stories from the life of Jesus. But because it is an ancient text, it can also be intimidating and confusing. Its complexity makes many people wonder: why do we need the Bible?


This five-session series, by author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper, unpacks these questions and more. There is no cost for this study.

DATE & TIME:

  • Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 PM (in person only) beginning April 14 and ending May 12. NOTE: We are not offering this study via Zoom.
  • Thursday morning from 9:30 to 11:00 AM (in person only) beginning April 16 and ending May 14.


CHILDCARE: Childcare is only available for the Thursday morning study at 9:30 AM. (More info when you register.)


24 Hours of Prayer

Join us for a full day dedicated to covering our church, our community, and our homes in prayer!


For 24 hours beginning at 6:00 AM on March 23 to 6:00 AM on March 24, we're inviting the entire church family to join together, one hour at a time, to seek God, lift one another up, and listen for His leading.


Choose a one-hour time slot that works for you. You do not need to pray for the full hour. Simply use part of that time to pray where you are. A link to download a simple prayer guide to help you pray intentionally is available on the sign-up form.

Whether you're young or old, new to prayer or seasoned in it, early-birds or night-owls alike, we want every voice represented. Together, our prayers will create a continuous chain across the entire 24 hours.


Let's unite our hearts together and ask God for His work among us!
