Good Friday Service

On April 3rd at 6:00pm, we will have a special Good Friday service as we remember Christ’s sacrifice and victory over death on the cross.

Español Good Friday Service will be at 8:00pm in the Worship Center.

Kids Ministry is available for Birth – Prek4 during both services.

Easter centers on a simple but life-changing question:

Do you believe?

This Easter, we’ll look at what Jesus meant when He said, “It is finished,” and why that statement changes everything. Through the story of Thomas, a follower of Jesus who wrestled with doubt, we’ll see that questions aren’t pushed away; they’re welcomed. Jesus meets our doubts with grace and invites us to move from uncertainty to courageous belief. Easter declares that the cross was not the end; it was only the beginning of victory. 

Thank you for considering joining us for Easter! We would love to celebrate with you.

If it’s your first time with us, there’s no need to stress! You can follow the signs in the parking lot to our “First Time Guest” parking outside the Commons. Greeters will be there to help you find your way to the worship center, check in your kids, or help you find the restroom!

What will the Service be like?

What will the Service be like?

Our Easter services are ~1 hour long and will be led by our contemporary worship choir and band. Pastor Alan Brumback will share a message, and each service will conclude with a time for reflection and a next step, whether that’s asking for prayer, learning more about following Jesus, or exploring baptism.

What do I wear?

What do I wear?

We do not have a dress code. Some prefer to dress in their Easter best, while others prefer jeans and a t-shirt. We are happy to have you worship with us, whether you’re dressy or casual! You can scroll through our Instagram (@firstnaples) to get an idea of what most people wear.

Parking and finding a seat are always easier the earlier you arrive! We recommend arriving ~15-20 minutes before service starts. If you're checking in kids, make sure to pre-register below for a quicker drop off! Parking can be tricky on busy days at First Naples.

Kids ministry is available for Birth through Prek4 for the Good Friday service. Kids ministry is available for Birth through 5th Grade for the Easter services. Pre-register your kids below to make check-in even easier!

We would love to welcome you to our church and answer any questions you may have, but you will not be asked to stand or be recognized in our services. Our Guest Services volunteers wear blue lanyards and are ready to help you if you ask!

Yes, all Good Friday and Easter services will be livestreamed at firstnaples.org/live, as well as on our YouTube and Facebook page.

You are welcome at First Naples! Pastor Alan will share a message from John 19:30 and 20:24-29 about Jesus' disciple Thomas and his struggle to believe the risen Christ. Bring your doubts and questions; we would love the opportunity to get to know you and talk about them! Please reach out to Chris at cvang@firstnaples.org if you'd like to get connected with a pastor.

A Nursing Room is also available in the Preschool hallway just across the Courtyard.

Join us AFTER Easter for our Live Alive Series

Come back and join us in April for a series on what it means to live for Jesus. What does it mean? Attend church? Avoid sin? Try harder? Or is it something deeper? The resurrection of Jesus was not just an event that we celebrate once a year. It is the power to live every single day. Because Jesus is alive, we refuse to live timid, private, self-focused lives. Resurrection courage moves us outward: into mission, love, identity, obedience, and legacy.
