What are the Easter worship service times?
9:45AM & 11:00AM
Where should I park?
Parking is simple and stress-free. We offer plenty of spaces, including reserved parking for families, seniors, and those with disabilities right up front to make your arrival as smooth as possible.
Overflow parking will be in the NKC Early Childhood Center’s parking lot with a small sidewalk connecting that lot with the church’s.
Want to plan ahead? Check out our interactive map below to see exactly where to go when you arrive.
When should I arrive?
Plan to arrive about 15 minutes before service starts. That gives you time to park, check in your kids, grab some coffee, and take a family photo before finding your seat.
What should I expect?
From the moment you arrive, we’ll help you feel at home. You’ll be greeted at the door, guided to where you need to go, and surrounded by people who are genuinely glad you’re here. Each service includes live music, a message that connects, and a welcoming environment. We keep it under an hour so you can enjoy the rest of your day!
This Easter, we’re also offering a few extra touches to make your morning even more special:
– Moony’s Coffee Truck serving specialty drinks for just $3 (free for first-time guests)
– Donuts for everyone because it’s not Easter without a little sweetness!
– Build-your-own bouquet station- create a fresh spring arrangement for $10
What about my kids?
We’ve planned something special just for them! Our gsKids Easter Party is our fun and meaningful experience for kids, available at our 11AM service. It’s full of games, music, and the Easter story told in a fun and engaging way!
Can I pre-register my kids?
Yes. To save time and skip the check-in line, pre-register your kids at easterkc.com by tapping “gsKids Pre-Register.” It only takes a minute.
Our gsKids check-in desk will be conveniently located outside near the side entrance so parents can register and walk kids directly downstairs.
What about communion?
At Good Shepherd, we celebrate open communion—meaning everyone is welcome at the table, regardless of background or church experience. On Easter, communion is a meaningful part of the service, offered in a way that’s simple, respectful, and accessible for all. If you’re not sure what to expect, no pressure, we’ll guide you through it during service!
What is the Easter offering?
This Easter, every dollar given goes directly to help local families in crisis. Through our partnership with the North Kansas City School District, your generosity provides emergency housing and hope for those who need it most. You can learn more about our Easter offering here.
What if I have questions when I get there?
Just look for anyone wearing a volunteer badge and lanyard. They’re here to help you find your way, answer questions, and make your experience easy from start to finish!
How can I help others have a great Easter experience?
If Good Shepherd is your church home, we’d love to have you serve on Easter. Whether it’s greeting guests, helping with gsKids, or supporting behind the scenes, you can help someone feel welcome and seen. Sign up to serve this Easter here.
What’s next?
