Easter 2026 at King's Community Church
WRITTEN BY chris johnston
Easter is the moment at the very centre of the Christian faith. It’s the reason we gather, the reason we worship, and the reason we have hope. At Easter, we remember that Jesus gave His life on the cross for us — and that three days later, He rose again. Sin defeated. Death overcome. Hope alive.
And because Jesus is alive, lives are still being changed today.
That’s why Easter is always such a significant moment in the life of our church. It’s not just about remembering something that happened 2,000 years ago — it’s about celebrating the transforming power of Jesus that we are still seeing in people’s lives right now.
In the lead-up to Easter, we’ll gather together on Good Friday to pause and reflect on the cross. Good Friday invites us to slow down and remember the depth of God’s love for us. Jesus willingly gave His life so that we could be forgiven, restored, and brought into relationship with God. The cross reminds us that our freedom came at a cost — and that the love of Jesus is greater than we could ever imagine.
Then, on Easter Sunday, we come together to celebrate the resurrection. This is always a joy-filled Sunday in the life of our church. We’ll gather to worship, celebrate the risen Jesus, and hear again the incredible message that because Jesus lives, new life is possible for every person.
One of the most powerful ways we celebrate that new life together is through baptisms. Baptism is a moment where people publicly declare their faith in Jesus and their decision to follow Him. Going under the water represents leaving the old life behind, and coming up again symbolises being raised into new life with Christ.
There are few moments more joyful than seeing people step into the waters of baptism — friends, family, and the whole church celebrating together as people take this step of faith. It’s a powerful reminder that Jesus is still changing lives.
Easter is also a wonderful opportunity to invite someone along. Many people who wouldn’t normally come to church are open to an invitation at Easter. A simple conversation, a message, or an invitation could be the moment that opens the door for someone to encounter Jesus for themselves.
So, as we approach Easter this year, why not start praying and asking God who you could invite? A friend, a neighbour, a colleague, or someone in your family. One invitation can make an eternal difference.
Let’s come expectant — expectant to encounter Jesus, expectant to celebrate new life, and expectant for God to move powerfully among us.
We can’t wait to celebrate Easter together.
