Easter Sunday is the biggest Sunday of the year. This year, we are having two services at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. In between services, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., there will be a free, family breakfast.

During the breakfast time, there will also be opportunities for egg hunts for kids. From 9:30 to 10:20 a.m., kids 4 and younger can enjoy a self-paced Easter egg hunt in a few kids ministry classrooms. And then at 10 a.m., kids 5 and older will have an egg hunt of their own.

Whether you attend the 8:30 or 10:30 a.m. service, each will begin with music led by our live band, followed by a hope-filled message from Pastor Paul Pyle. The entire service is about 65 minutes in length.

In total, a Mountain View worship celebration is about 65 minutes in length. Services begin with the church worship band leading the congregation in music. Song lyrics are projected onto screens so you can sing along and engage with the music however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of service is complete, a pastor will share an encouraging, challenging and hope-filled message from the Bible.

Easter is a celebration for the whole family at Mountain View.

From 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., your family is invited to a free breakfast. During the breakfast time, there will also be opportunities for egg hunts for kids. From 9:30 to 10:20 a.m., kids 4 and younger (along with their parents) can participate in a fun, self-paced egg hunt in a few classrooms. Then, at 10 a.m., kids 5 and older will have their own egg hunt under a large grove of trees on our campus.

During the 8:30 a.m. service, there will be no kids ministry programming, however your kids are welcome to join you in the worship service. At 10:30 a.m., kids age 5 and younger can participate in an age-appropriate Easter experience in our kids ministry. First-graders and older can join their parents in the worship service.

During both services, we will have take-along activities available in the worship center lobby to help your kids engage with the Easter story during the worship service.

If you have seventh through twelfth graders, we invite them to join you in the worship service. There is no youth ministry programming on Easter Sunday.

If you have questions about our kids ministry or the check-in process, head over to mvbctucson.org/kids or contact our kids ministry director Amanda Ellsworth at amandae@mvbctucson.org.

There are dedicated guest parking spots near the front of our parking lot — but if you arrive and don't seen any available spots, don't worry! There is a large parking lot on campus just behind the church buildings.

Tucson casual is a real thing, even on Easter. While many people do choose to dress up on Easter (ie: sundresses and button-ups), you're likely to see a wide range of styles on Easter morning — everything from jeans and cowboy boots to suits and floral dresses.

If you're arriving for breakfast or to check your kids into the kids ministry, head over to our multipurpose building. When you pull into the parking lot, this is the big building west of the building with the cross in front of it.

Here for the worship service? You'll head over to the frontmost building with the cross and awning out front. Use the front glass doors to access the worship center.
