You’re invited to Easter with Nova Church!

What happened 2,000 years ago in a graveyard outside Jerusalem? Did a dead man really come back to life? And if so, what difference could that make to your life today? What would it mean for our world?At Nova Church we believe that Jesus rose from the dead on that first Easter morning.  This moment changes everything! It means hope is alive and hope is here! Hope for renewal — in your life and in our world.

Join us for Easter Sunday as we celebrate this hope of renewal God wants to give you through Jesus.

Enter into the mystery and power of Jesus’ final hours on the cross.

Connect with the meaning of Good Friday as we gather to worship and reflect on the weight of Jesus’s suffering and sacrifice.
