Easter Sunrise Service 
Sunday, April 5, 2026 at 6:00 a.m.

Easter is always a special time at Mt. Gilead as we celebrate the Lord’s resurrection on top of the mountain at Inspiration Point, overlooking the Santa Rosa Valley.  It has been called  “The Sunrise Service with the most spectacular view,” by the Press Democrat.  

Following the service you will enjoy an incredible, hearty, warm breakfast in the Mt. Gilead Dining Hall.  Don’t miss out on making your own special memories right here at Mt. Gilead.  We can’t wait to see you!

"He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’" Luke 24:6-7
