Easter at the O’Dome
April 5, 2026 @ 10:30 am
Location: Stephen C. O'Connell Center
This year, instead of hosting multiple services at our main campus, we’re gathering as one church family for a special Easter celebration at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center (the O’Dome) on UF’s campus — Sunday, April 5th at 10:30am.
By choosing a larger, more central venue, our hope is to create a welcoming and accessible space for people from all across Gainesville to attend with ease. Easter at the O’Dome is a service for everyone — a time to come together, worship, and celebrate the hope of Jesus in one place, under one name: Jesus.
KIDS SERVICE
We will have Kids Services at the O’Dome:
- Sprouts: Ages 0–5
- GH Kids: Kindergarten–5th Grade
Kids check-in and classrooms will be located inside the O’Dome, with clear signage and friendly volunteers ready to guide you every step of the way. From the moment you arrive, our team will help direct your family to the correct check-in area and classroom locations.
If it’s your first time, we recommend arriving a little early to allow time for check-in. Our goal is to make your child feel safe, welcomed, and excited to learn about Jesus while you enjoy the Easter service.
Pray
Join us in praying for Easter at the O’Dome. Choose a day to fast and pray, and come prayer walk around the O’Dome as we prepare our hearts for Easter Sunday.
Invite
Pick up invite cards on Sundays, or share our digital invites on social media to invite someone to join you on Easter Sunday.
