Easter!
Welcome to Easter week! Friday is somber and wonderful; then Sunday is miraculous and hopeful! Here is a list of the opportunities for you to worship and we encourage you to share with friends or family who don’t have a place to worship yet. Please note there is no egg hunt for First Kids on Easter Sunday; they have a special movie program during the service.
- 4/19/2025 – Brunch and Hunt Pancake Breakfast and Egg Hunt, 8:30 – 11:00 AM
- 4/20/2025 – Easter Sunday Service, 9:30 AM
Also, don’t forget to bring your Treasure Coin Boxes for the Unknown Nations collection, which will take place during the service.

Walk for Life 2025
Celebrate life while raising awareness and funds for Alternatives Care Centers. This year there are TWO locations and dates for the walk, because Alternatives has two centers and helps two communities in our area! It’s only $5 to register each walker, and then they ask that you either fundraise/get sponsors, or just pay up front a $35 dollar donation per walker. There is lots of info on their website. Alternatives provides our greater area with SUCH important services, this is one of their big fundraisers as well as awareness events! It would be awesome to have a good church presence. The Pool family will be participating in the Battle Creek location because it’s at the kids’ school.
- June 14, 2025 at 8:30 AM at Radiant Church in Portage
- June 21 ,2025 at 8:30 AM at Calhoun Christian School in Battle Creek.
