What can I expect?

Join us for Easter services on Sunday, April 5th at 435 Hammonds Plains Rd in Bedford (we’ll be meeting at Sandy Lake Academy). We’ll have two gatherings to choose from, 9:15am and 11:00am. We encourage you to arrive a few minutes early to find parking, get settled, and enjoy a free cup of coffee from Cortado Tasting Room.

Each gathering lasts about 75 minutes and includes live music, clear and encouraging teaching from the Bible focused on the Gospel. We’ll also be celebrating baptism in both gatherings, a meaningful moment where people publicly share how their faith in Jesus has changed their lives.

Easter is the celebration of the greatest news in the history of humanity but what does that actually mean? In a world filled with anxiety, bad news, and constant pressure, we all long for something solid. Something hopeful. Something true.  The message of Easter is simple and life-changing: Jesus rose from the dead. And because he did, forgiveness is possible, hope is real, and new beginnings are available to anyone. Christianity isn’t about being more religious or trying harder to be a better person. It’s about receiving good news.  News that changes your life and reshapes your future.

Whether you’ve been around church your whole life, walked away from it, or have never really considered it before, Easter is a great Sunday to come and explore. We’d love to see you there.

Who is welcome?

At Port City, we strive to provide radical hospitality to every person who comes through our doors. We know it can be super intimidating when you go to a new place or meet new people so it's our goal to create a welcoming environment for each person who attends. Whether you’re skeptical and unsure about your faith, curious and exploring your faith, or already a Christian but seeking a local church home, we believe Port City is the place for you.

What if I have children?

If you have children ages infant through grade three there will be a children's program provided for them during the Easter worship gathering. Please plan to arrive by fifteen minutes early to check in your child. All of our kids ministry volunteers will be trained, background checked, and ready to welcome your little ones! Your child will spend time learning from God's Word, singing, playing with friends, and of course… eating goldfish. If you have children in grade four or above they will sit with you in the gathering but we will provide an activity sheet that follows along with the message to help them enjoy their time.

How do I invite others?

Invite a friend, tell a co-worker, or share with a family member. You can even let us know you're coming by filling out this Connect Form. We look forward to seeing you Sunday, April 5th.
