Church of the Messiah

Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen Indeed! Welcome to Church of the Messiah on this joyful Easter morning. What a gift it is to gather together and proclaim the good news: Jesus is alive! Death has been defeated. Hope has been restored. Love has won. Our mission is simple, but powerful: to Know Christ, Grow in Faith, and Serve Others. Today, we celebrate the heart of that mission—the resurrection of Christ, which changes everything. There are so many wonderful churches you could have chosen to celebrate Easter with, and the fact that you chose to be here humbles and honors us deeply. Whether you’re brand new or have been part of our church family for years, we’re glad you’re here. We’re a multigenerational community, and we invite you to participate however you feel comfortable. For some, that means engaging in every part of the service. For others, it’s sitting quietly and soaking it all in. And for many, it’s somewhere in between. However you worship today, we’re simply grateful for your presence. Today is also a special opportunity to respond to resurrection hope with generosity. This year, Easter offering will help address global hunger and building local homes. Your gift helps fund 50,000 meals through Lifeline Christian Mission and supports Habitat for Humanity in constructing walls for a home right here in Westerville. Every gift makes a difference. You can give today in worship, online, or anytime at messiahumc.net. 100% of your gift goes directly to these life- changing projects. Thank you for being part of this Easter celebration—and for being part of the hope we proclaim.
