EASTER AT EMBRACE

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate Easter in Lakeland or the St. Croix Valley, we’d love to invite you to join us at Embrace.

Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years, haven’t been to church in a long time, or you’re just exploring what you believe — this is a place for you.

This year we’re asking a simple but powerful question: What If?
What if it’s true? What if it changes everything?

We can’t wait to gather together.

PALM SUNDAY

What If Jesus Is the Messiah?

Palm Sunday kicks off the week that changed everything.

It’s the moment people began asking who Jesus really was — and we’re still asking that question today.

This year, Palm Sunday is also eKids Sunday, and our kids will be helping lead us in worship. It’s one of our favorite mornings of the year — full of joy, energy, and the kind of faith that reminds us what this is all about.

If you’re in Lakeland, Stillwater, or anywhere in the St. Croix Valley, we’d love for you and your family to join us as we begin Easter week together.

Services at 9:00 & 10:15 AM.

GOOD FRIDAY

What If the Cross Is Real?

Good Friday is quieter. Slower. Intentional.

We take time to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus and what it means for us personally.

If you’re searching for a Good Friday service near Lakeland or Stillwater, this will be a meaningful space to pause, worship, and remember.

We’ll gather at 7:00pm.

EASTER SUNDAY

What If Jesus Is Alive? What If the Tomb Is Empty?

Easter isn’t just a holiday. It’s the turning point.

We’ll celebrate with worship, a hopeful message, and space for you to encounter Jesus in a real way.

If you’re looking for an Easter church near you in Lakeland, Stillwater, Lake Elmo, or the greater St. Croix Valley, we would be honored to welcome you and your family.

Services at 8:00, 9:15 & 10:30AM.
Full eKids programming available.

Come a little early. Grab coffee. Sit with someone. You belong here.

And after every single service, we’re hosting something you do not want to miss… ⬇️

HOT AIR BALLOON EGG HUNT

We’ll have a real hot air balloon set up indoors, completely filled with eggs. Kids will get to search for eggs inside the balloon and then head over to our prize table to trade them in for fun prizes.

It’s interactive. It’s exciting. It’s different.
And it’s going to create some core memories.

We’re not just doing an egg hunt—we’re creating an experience that reflects the joy and celebration of Easter morning.

And while the kids are hunting for eggs, adults can enjoy our Iced Coffee Bar, hang out, connect with friends, and soak in the morning together.

The egg hunt will take place after all three services on April 5th!

BAPTISM SUNDAY

What If You’re Invited Into the Story?

Because Easter isn’t just about what happened.
It’s about what happens next.

On April 12th, we’ll celebrate Baptism Sunday — a powerful morning where people publicly declare that the story of Jesus has become their story. Baptism is a visible picture of new life — going under the water and rising again, just like Christ.

There is nothing like the sound of a church cheering as someone steps into the water. It’s bold. It’s beautiful. It’s faith in motion.

And maybe — just maybe — this is your step.

If Easter is true, you’re not just observing the story.
You’re invited into it.
