LENT + EASTER 2026
Lent is the period of time that prepares us for Resurrection Sunday. It is a time of repentance and renewal. Repentance is the key act of Christian faith, where we take hold of the life we've been given and return it to God in faith and obedience, resisting sin and embracing His Holy Spirit. In returning back to God, we are renewed. This year during Lent, Imago Dei Community will exploring the Scripture's teaching on sin: both its power and its defeat in the cross of Christ. Sin is defeated, but a powerful darkness across our existence. Join us for Lent as we practice repentance together and receive the renewal that only comes from God.

Ash Wednesday: Februrary 18th
6 PM: KIDS AND FAMILIES, 7 PM: ALL-CHURCH SERVICE
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent as the Church journeys with Jesus toward Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We invite you to join us in person for this special gathering as we remind ourselves that apart from God’s life-giving Spirit—His divine breath in our lungs—we are but only dust.
Kids and families are invited to the Prayer Space at 6 PM for story and worship and communion together as an Imago Kids community. We’ll practice listening and make space for moving our bodies and wondering things out loud. Everyone is welcome to a more traditional service at 7 PM. Learn more here.

Healing + Renewal Prayer Service
MARCH 15TH AFTER BOTH SERVICES
A few times a year, we set aside a special service in order to ask the Holy Spirit to heal and renew us. All are welcome after our worship services to join us in the Prayer Space. Our elders, pastors, and trusted prayer team members will pray for you for whatever you need. All those in need of physical, emotional, spiritual healing are welcome—and anyone who simply desires a renewal in their faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. View on Church Center.

Baptism Class
MARCH 29TH AT 12:30 PM
For any and all interested in being baptized, we want to create a space to connect, ask questions, and walk through what baptism means and why it matters for us as followers of Jesus.
There will be space uniquely for kids considering baptism and their grownups, and a separate class just for adults considering getting baptized. Registration is encouraged.

Holy Week Art Experience
MARCH 30-APRIL 3 FROM 12-1 PM
“SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN:“ A Holy Week Art Experience
Holy Week is a time for deep reflection on the loving sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is a time to draw near and truly appreciate what it means that a holy God met mankind in flesh and bones—in the crudeness of fallen humanity—to offer us new life through the Cross.
Join us in the Prayer Space for a contemplative art experience, one which asks you to take a journey into the darkness of the human heart where the light of God’s love shines brightest. Pray and meditate at the different “stations” and consider what it means to be a fallen son or daughter eternally loved by a tenderhearted Father.

Good Friday
Join us as we contemplate the cross of Jesus Christ. Good Friday is a day of reflection and worship for what God has done for us in the death of Jesus. This day is "good" because in Jesus' death we find our life. Paradoxically, the day of the crucifixion of Jesus is a day of praise and honor of God, the one who died so we can live. Our Good Friday service will be a place for us to sing, hear the Word of God, listen to and reflect upon the story of the suffering of Jesus, and partake in the Eucharist.
EASTER AT IMAGO DEI:
April 5th at 9 and 11 AM
We are overjoyed to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ together on Easter Sunday, April 5th. We will offer two services at 9am and 11am with all our kids, families, and adults together in the main sanctuary. We will worship, hear about the hope we have in Jesus, and celebrate the sacrament of baptism. For thousands of years, Christians from all over the world have anchored their faith in the history-changing event of the resurrection. Come worship with us and receive from God the hope we all need. Everyone is welcome!
