“the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
a time to prepare
Jesus came to change lives.
Since the earliest times, followers of Jesus have used Lent to examine their own hearts and lives.
- We don’t do it to wallow in guilt – because Jesus’ forgiveness sets us free.
- We don’t do it for self-improvement – because only Jesus’ spirit can change us.
- We do it so that we can bring our whole selves to Him for mercy and transformation.

a new beginning
Jesus came to change the world.
Since the earliest times, followers of Jesus have used Easter to remember:
- His death – the sacrifice he willingly made to remove our sin and shame
- His resurrection – the victory he won over death bringing the promise of new life
Whether you’re already a follower of Jesus, near to Him, or still far away you are very welcome to join our celebrations.
