Passion Week Series:
The Final Word
In the two most climactic events of human history, God had the final word. Both on the cross and at the grave, God spoke definitively and assuringly. Promisingly and invitingly. Lean in and listen during Passion Week 2024 as Todd unleashes the lion of God’s Word for every sinner and saint—all of us—who stand in need of a Savior.

Good Friday Details
No registration is required. Just drop off your kids in the Student Center like usual.
We’re remembering a death, so please approach the night appropriately, as you would a funeral. It can be helpful to increase your immersion into the evening by wearing funeral-style attire, so feel free to join our staff in doing that if it would be helpful for you. With the somber tone, please enter and exit the building and Worship Center reverently and quietly if possible. Instead of chatting with your neighbor or family once in your seat, consider prayerfully preparing your heart for the evening.
There will also be creative elements to help you experience Christ’s sacrifice for you in a greater way.
Please be flexible in where you sit! Our ushers will do their best to seat you in the smoothest and most efficient way possible.
This will strictly be an overflow space, unlike normal weeks with our Livestream Venue.
This isn’t a service you want to be late for! Please plan to arrive earlier than usual.
Easter Sunday Details
We’ll also be baptizing at each Ankeny service!
With the tighter turnaround times between services and the extra service, things will feel even busier than usual.
You can drop off your preschoolers starting 10 minutes before service. Elementary kiddos will be dismissed after the worship portion of the service. Thank you in advance for your extra flexibility and grace on this special day!
Gather up your family or friends and grab a photo in our Photo Booth we’ve put together for Easter 2024!
We expect the 9:30am service to be the busiest service. If you have flexibility in your Easter morning, please consider attending the 8 or 11am services to help with seating. If the service fills up, we’ll have overflow seating available in the Youth Room. This will be strictly an overflow space, unlike normal weeks with our Livestream Venue.
Stop by the Café for some coffee and goodies before you head into the service.
Yup, it’s on here for both services. This also isn’t a service you want to be late for! Please plan to arrive earlier than usual.
