Join us in the heart of downtown Rocky Mount at the Booker T. Washington Theatre for an Easter Celebration!
For nearly 2,000 years, followers of Jesus have celebrated the hope found in a poor Jewish carpenter from the ancient Middle East. Why? Because on Easter we celebrate the truly unimaginable — that this man died, and three days later rose again from the dead, offering life and hope to the whole world.
This Easter, City of Shalom will gather for one special service at the historic Booker T. Washington Theatre in downtown Rocky Mount. Join us for singing, a short message about what the resurrection means for our lives today, and a chance to experience our growing community.
Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re simply curious about faith, you’re welcome here. Come celebrate Easter with us — and bring the whole family!
