Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is a day for followers of Christ to commemorate the death of Jesus. It was on this day when Jesus was betrayed by one of his Apostles, put on trial, flogged, beaten, and sentenced to death by crucifixion. This is a sober day that is important to remember because of the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us. The death of Jesus was the beginning of three days when the Apostles did not know what was to come.
Scripture: Want to know more? Read Matthew 26 - 27.
We invite you to participate in a unique Good Friday Self-Guided Immersive Experience. This is a Northgate tradition. Visit any stations at your own pace; there are no requirements. This is a sacred time to consider the betrayal, suffering, and death of Jesus, God, and man. We hope you’ll find this to be an impactful, hands-on journey through the events of Jesus’ loving sacrifice.

Through the miracle of resurrection, Jesus defeated sin and death and rose again! Not just alive again in human form, but fully risen in His glorified body to be seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. After His resurrection, He spent 40 days teaching and instructing the Apostles through the Holy Spirit. Then, in the book of Acts, He ascends into Heaven, where he now reigns.
You may hear us say, “He is risen,” to celebrate and remember this fulfillment of the biblical prophecies of the Messiah—the one who would save us all from sin and death. We get excited about that part! Once Jesus ascended into Heaven, two men appeared to the Apostles and gave us the promise that Jesus would return the same way he went into Heaven.
Scripture: John 20, Luke 24:6-7, 1 Peter 1:3, Acts 4:33, John 20
We are excited to celebrate Jesus’ victory with you on Easter this year! There will be three services to allow for even more people to enjoy and participate in this celebration. There will be a photo booth to capture those fantastic Easter outfits you worked so hard to pick out and wrangle everyone into. Kids will have a fun craft and lesson in our Kids Services at 9 AM & 11 AM Services.
And, of course, we will worship and praise all He has done for us.

Baptism speaks to the reality of Jesus' victory in our lives. It is proof of our salvation and of our public profession of faith and repentance from sin.
When Jesus died, they placed Him in a tomb, and on the third day, He rose again. When we become followers of Christ, we enter into new relationships with Him. We are buried with Him in baptism, just as He died and was buried, and then we are raised from the water just as He was lifted from the dead.
Scripture: Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:26,7, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12, 1 Peter 3:21
After giving your life to Christ, one of the most important decisions you can make is to publicly profess your faith in Jesus by being baptized in water. Are you ready to take this next step in your relationship with Jesus? We’d love to talk with you about baptism!
