Join us for our Good Friday message "Why Good Friday" by Rev. Seth Enriquez.

Why do we call the day Jesus was betrayed, arrested, and crucified "Good"? This question carries profound implications for our lives and our world, for within this sacrifice lies the goodness that heals our relationship with God and opens the door to our healing and salvation, if only we trust in him.
