JOURNEY TO THE CROSS
Journey to the Cross
A Self-Guided Prayer Experience
Midweek we enter into a more reflective space as we walk through the final hours of Jesus’ earthly ministry.
Journey to the Cross is not a traditional service, but an interactive, guided prayer walk through various stations. This self-guided experience is designed to help you slow down and personally reflect on the events surrounding Jesus’ betrayal, suffering, crucifixion, and sacrifice.
Through Scripture, visual elements, interactive stations, moments of quiet reflection, and guided prompts, you will move step-by-step toward Calvary. Our hope is that this experience will give you and your family meaningful space to consider — in a small but personal way — the depth of Christ’s love and the cost of the cross.

Content Advisory
Journey to the Cross is a reflective experience centered on the events surrounding Jesus’ suffering and crucifixion.
Some stations include short video clips from The Passion of the Christ. A few of these scenes portray the physical suffering of Jesus in a realistic and graphic manner. While these moments are brief, they may be difficult for some individuals — especially young children — to watch.
Participation at every station is always optional. You are welcome to:
Skip any station
Step into the hallway during a video segment
Sit quietly and pray instead of watching
Move ahead to the next station
Parents are encouraged to use discretion when deciding whether older children should participate. Preview links to the video clips are available to help families determine suitability in advance.
Our prayer is that this experience creates meaningful space to reflect on the depth of Christ’s love and sacrifice, while allowing each participant to engage at a level that feels appropriate.
