Easter week gets busy—family gatherings, spring events, all the things. But in the middle of it all, it’s worth hitting pause to remember what Easter is really about. At CFBC, we’re creating space to reflect, celebrate, and reconnect with the true meaning of Easter. Check out our Easter week services below—we’d love for you to be part of it.
Palm Sunday – kicks off Easter week at CFBC on April 13th at 10:30am! We’ll celebrate Jesus’ triumphant arrival into Jerusalem—and yes, everyone will get to take home a palm branch (how cool is that?). And don’t forget the little ones—right after the service (around 11:30ish), we’re throwing an epic Easter Egg Hunt for kids and grandkids. It’s going to be a great morning—you won’t want to miss it!

Maundy Thursday – Then on Thursday, April 17, we’ll gather again for a special Maundy Thursday service. This evening invites us to slow down and remember the moment Jesus broke bread with His disciples—pointing us toward the incredible sacrifice He made. The service will include worship, communion, and a short message. It all begins at 6:30 p.m. We’d love to see you there.

Good Friday – On Good Friday, April 18, at 7:00 pm, CFBC will join with other local churches for a powerful night of worship and reflection. Together, we’ll remember the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for all of us—and why it changes everything. We’ll gather at Grace Church in Chester, IL, united as one body of believers. Don’t miss this meaningful part of the Easter journey.

Sunrise Service – There’s something special about starting Easter morning together as the sun comes up. Join us on Sunday, April 20th at 6:00am at Chester Evergreen Cemetery (right next to Chester Motomart) for a meaningful service with worship, communion, and Scripture. Afterward, head back to Chester First Baptist for a free breakfast in the dining area—served from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. Come early, be inspired, and start Easter Sunday in the best way.

Choose between an 8:00 a.m. service or our 10:30 a.m. service—whatever fits your morning best. Can’t make it in person? We’ve got you covered! The 10:30 a.m. service will also be live-streamed on our Facebook page.
