Good Friday & Easter

We welcome  you to join us for our upcoming Good Friday and Easter services!

On Friday, March 29 at 7pm, we’ll hold a special service as we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice.

Then on Sunday, March 31 at 10am, join us again as we joyfully celebrate the resurrection Jesus!

Both services will be in-person and streamed live.

We encourage you to bring family & friends! If you’re watching from home, invite your loved ones over. Let’s celebrate this Easter season together!


As a reminder, we'd like to encourage all parents to Hold Your Spot for your kiddos in Heroes Gate, each week for our Sunday services. The form is available weekly, starting the Monday prior to a Sunday service.

March Food Drive

March is Food Nutrition Month, so we're holding a Food Drive for our food shelf, the Corner Shelf. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to help support our food-insecure neighbors. Two weeks in, we've already raised $15,938 so far! Thank you!

A few ways you can help:

  • Make a financial contribution – This way is very cost-effective! Every $1 buys about three meals.
  • Donate food – We’ve listed food items that are most helpful here.
  • Drop off grocery bags – We'd love to give your brown paper bags a second life! We go through hundreds a week, and often need to purchase some.

Pray for Israel/Palestine conflict

It's hard to even imagine the horror going on in Israel and Palestine.

During a recent service, Greg made a point for us to specifically pray that the Spirit could get through to decision makers with ways that make for peace, and that the conflict would not escalate.

He also led the congregation in this group prayer.

"I've been a WH podrishioner for several years now and I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. I came across these podcasts at a time when I was in an extremely unhealthy/abusive situation, and these teachings were immensely influential to me maintaining my faith and sanity. THANK YOU for showing me what a Jesus-looking God is like and what it means to follow Him. Many, many blessings to all of you!"
