Tenebrae : A good friday service

Join us for Tenebrae, a powerful and unique Good Friday service that helps us step into the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice. Tenebrae means “the darkening,” and throughout the night, we’ll walk through the story of the cross with dramatic elements, moving music, and heartfelt monologues. As the light fades, we’ll reflect on the incredible love that led Jesus to give everything for us. This is a night to pause, remember, and sit in the gravity of what He has done—so that we can fully embrace the hope of Easter.


Childcare is provided for ages 0-5. All others are encouraged to join and experience Tenebrae!

Egg hunt party

Join us for the ultimate Egg Hunt Party—a free, family-friendly event packed with fun! Kids and teens (ages 0-18) can enjoy exciting egg hunts, games, crafts, snacks, and plenty of candy. Plus, don’t miss the chance to win amazing gift baskets donated by our generous community! This is the perfect way to celebrate Easter, connect with other families, and make lasting memories. Everyone is welcome, so bring your crew and let’s have a blast!

We will have different egg hunts for each age group to ensure that every child has a fun experience and gets plenty of candy and eggs! Have more than one child? We will space the egg hunts out by about 10 minutes so that you can watch or help each child at a different time. Egg hunts will start promptly at 11am so make sure to get there by 10:45am to get your child to the right location before their hunt starts! 


All children welcome to participate in a hunt, 0-18! 

(We have a special twist for our older, youth aged students.)


Bring your own Easter basket, or there will be extras for you available if you don't have one!

Easter sunday

Celebrate the hope of Easter with us! Experience powerful worship with a special Easter choir and an uplifting message of joy and new life in Jesus. Bring your family and invite a friend—Easter changes everything!


Childcare provided for both services. New to WNLA? 

Here is an intro to our children's programs:

Nursery-age children are welcome to be dropped off by a parent at the start of service. The nursery is located in the kids hallways. Please make sure to check in your child with our self-check stations in the foyer! All parents are required to show their matching sticker to pick up their child. There also is a space available for nursing mothers or moms with small children that still would like to watch the service.

Easter bites

Join us in between services for a light brunch! This is a great time for the congregation to get together and fellowship, regardless of which service you decide to come to! 


Gluten-free options will be available.
