Let’s be honest—Easter can feel like pressure. The service has to be powerful. The invite strategy has to hit. The music, the message, the follow-up… it all matters.

But here’s the thing: We’re not just trying to fill seats—we’re building sacred space for people to meet Jesus.

Easter isn’t just the end of Lent…It’s the launchpad of the Church’s mission.

It’s not about impressing—it’s about igniting. It’s not about being polished—it’s about being present.

📖 “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” —Romans 10:15

So let me encourage you, pastor to pastor:

  • You don’t need a huge budget.

  • You don’t need laser lights and viral reels.

  • You just need obedience.

  • The kind of obedience that says, “I’ll serve, I’ll pray, I’ll show up.”

This Easter, whether you pull off all 10 big ideas or just hand out one bag of groceries in Jesus’ name—do it with heart.

Love your city like Jesus is coming tomorrow. Lead like eternity’s on the line. And trust that God is working through every step.

Because the goal isn’t to impress. It’s to build altars. And I believe this year, God’s going to use your boldness to do just that.

Let’s go bring hope. Let’s go be the Church.
