Easter @ the Amphitheater

Each and every Sunday we gather to celebrate our risen Savior, Jesus! Though that is true, the church for hundreds of years has set apart Easter Sunday as a day to specifically celebrate the wonder and good news of Christ’s resurrection.

To be able to celebrate Easter as an entire church family, we will host our Easter Gathering on March 31 at the Icehouse Amphitheater in downtown Lexington, right at a mile away from our building at 107 W Main Street.

Arrive a little early at 9:30am as we will have coffee, doughnuts, and some fun games for everyone to enjoy. The Easter Gathering will begin at our usual time, 10:00am.

We look forward to being able to celebrate Easter together as one, big church family!

FOC | Milestones '24

We can connect with anyone worldwide at any moment, yet our world has slowly become more isolated and lonelier than ever before. If we aren’t careful, we might find ourselves on a parenting island - without community and feeling like we are the only ones experiencing the joys and hardships that come with raising kids who love Jesus.

At Milestones ’24, we want to help you discover the good gift and unlock the full potential of parenting within a Jesus-centered Family on Mission. Parenting is done best when done together.

We will host our Milestones ‘24 Conference for our Family of Churches at our Downtown Church on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

  • Doors Open, 8:30am; Event 9:00am - 1:00pm

  • Lunch will be provided for all attendees (including those in Kidtown)

  • Kidtown for the event will be provided. Kids will enjoy Camp Kidtown activities and lessons throughout the day. Snacks and drinks will also be provided throughout the day.

For more information, email here.

Milestones’ vision is to train parents to be the most confident, well-equipped, joy-filled parents they can possibly be. Every year we host a conference weekend with the goal of encouraging and engaging parents with Jesus’ transformative power in our lives.
