Sunrise Easter 2026
April 5 @ 6:30 am - 7:30 am
*Due to the weather, the Easter Sunrise Service has been moved inside to the Sanctuary.*
You can expect music from Jonathan Wolfe and a powerful message from senior pastor, Rev. Mike Morgan. It is a moving experience to be outside as the sun rises, reflecting on the first Easter and our risen Lord.
History of the Sunrise Service
On April 16, 1995, Birmingham UMC hosted its first community-wide Sunrise Service. It was located at the foot of a dam on Providence Road, just east of Bethany Road. People came from far and wide.
When we transitioned to our 63-acre campus in September 2005, our first Sunrise service here occurred on April 16, 2006. What was once a pasture for cows became a sacred space for our outdoor amphitheater. It is located about 200 yards directly south of the front doors of the Sanctuary. We look forward to welcoming YOU to our amphitheater again this year for Easter Sunrise.
