Because You Give: Easter Recap

Because you give, Holy Week at CityRise was a powerful celebration of hope and worship. Across our campuses and events, thousands of people gathered to remember Christ's sacrifice, celebrate His resurrection, and experience the love of Jesus personally.

The week began with Palm Sunday, when approximately 1,000 people came together at our Inner Loop campus picnics. Families, friends, and neighbors enjoyed fellowship and shared meals. It was a beautiful reminder of the vibrant community God is building through CityRise.

As Holy Week continued, worship attendance remained strong across our Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday gatherings. More than 3,300 people joined us to reflect on Jesus’s journey to the cross and celebrate the victory of the empty tomb, and people at every stage of their faith journies encountered the message of God's grace and redemption.

One of the most joyful moments of Easter Sunday was witnessing eleven people publicly declare their faith through baptism! Each baptism is a life transformed by the gospel and a powerful testimony to God's ongoing work in our church family.

Our Kids Ministry experienced an incredible season of outreach. More than 1,400 people attended the Inner Loop Easter Egg Hunt. Because of it, our team was able to connect with thirty-two families who currently do not have a church home, as well as more than 200 individuals who are not regularly attending a church. Events such as these are perfect open doors for future conversations, ministry opportunities, and invitations to grow in both faith and community.

Meanwhile, at our Missouri City campus, approximately 300 people attended Easter Eggstravaganza. Families enjoyed hot dogs, popcorn, a bouncy house, and a community-wide egg hunt that brought smiles to children and parents alike. Beyond the fun, the event served as a welcoming space where neighbors could experience the hospitality and love of CityRise firsthand.

Every worship service, family event, volunteer opportunity, and gospel conversation was made possible because of your faithful generosity. Your giving helps create spaces where people can encounter Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and take their next step in faith.
