Good Friday Service

On Good Friday, we will gather for a service shaped by Scripture, historic Christian prayer, and the traditions practiced by the early church.

The service will follow a historic Good Friday pattern similar to the Tenebrae tradition, consisting of Scripture readings that trace the passion of Christ, prayers drawn from historic Christian liturgy, songs centered on the cross, the Lord’s Supper, and periods of silence for reflection. The service will gradually move from light to darkness as we remember the suffering and death of Christ.

Christians have gathered on this day for centuries to read these texts, pray these prayers, and remember the crucifixion of our Lord. This service is intended to be quiet, reverent, and reflective, helping us consider the death of Christ with sobriety, gratitude, and worship.

We gather on Good Friday not to move quickly to Easter, but to remember the cross, to hear again the words of Scripture, and to consider the weight of the atonement and the suffering of Christ on behalf of sinners.

“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows…
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.”
— Isaiah 53:4–5

Church family, we are heading into a special Easter week at First Baptist, and we would love for you to be part of it.

This Sunday we kick things off with Palm Sunday as we look at who Jesus claimed He was. After the service, we’ll have a potluck, Easter egg hunt, scavenger hunt, and lots of family activities.

Then on Friday at 6:00 PM, we’ll gather for a Good Friday Communion Service with reflective readings, communion, and music as we focus on the cross.

And then next Sunday, we’ll celebrate the resurrection together on Easter Sunday.

Please make this week a matter of prayer. Pray that the gospel would go forward, that hearts would be open, and that lives would be changed by Christ.

Also, be sure to grab Easter invites and start inviting friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. We have plenty available, so help us spread the word.

We love you all and are looking forward to a powerful week together.

One of the most countercultural things you can do in 2026 is sit in a room with other people, put your phone down, open a Bible, and think about God.

But that’s exactly what we do every Sunday.

See you Sunday.

This week’s blog article from Sunday’s sermon is now up on our website: “You Already Know God Exists.”

This piece walks through a truth many people try to avoid: the moral law written on the human heart points beyond itself. Our conscience is not random. It is not an accident. It is evidence that we were made by a personal, moral Creator. And that reality does not just tell us that God exists — it also confronts us with our need for Christ. 

If you were helped by Sunday’s message, or if you know someone wrestling with questions about God, truth, morality, and the gospel, this article would be a great one to read and share this week. 

Every person carries an instinctive moral certainty — the Holocaust was wrong, injustice is real, some things simply cannot be permitted — and almost nobody asks where that certainty comes from. This article follows that question to its logical conclusion. The Apostle Paul calls it syneidēsis: ...
