Good Friday at FIRST

Join us for our combined Good Friday service on Friday, April 3rd at 7 PM at the East Longmeadow campus. Come experience a powerful night of worship, reflection, and remembrance. Communion will be offered as we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus. All are welcome.

Easter at FIRST

Join us this Easter Sunday, April 5th, as we celebrate the hope and joy of the resurrection! Services will be held at 9:30 AM at our East Longmeadow campus and 11:00 AM at our Springfield campus, with an Easter egg hunt for kids following each service. All are welcome!

Why celebrate Easter? Because not only is the resurrection miraculous, it marks a turning point in history. When Jesus said, “It is finished,” He was talking about more than the agonizing pain of crucifixion. At that moment, a permanent shift in power took place— one that still affects us today. This Easter, discover how Jesus’ death and resurrection put an end to sin, shame, and so much more.
