New Easter series inviting students to explore the deeper meaning of Jesus’s death and resurrection.

In this series, students will explore how every step of the Easter story reveals something important about who Jesus is, what He came to do, and what it means to trust Him with their lives. 

Along the way, they’ll wrestle with expectations, see how Jesus obeyed God even when it was incredibly hard, discover how the details of the cross point to God’s faithfulness, and ultimately face the most important question of all: What do you believe about Jesus?

You can order this series individually here on this page or get it as a part of the 2026 One Year Bundle.
