Launching New

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP SERVICE @ 11:00AMBeginning April 7th, Victory Lutheran will introduce a Contemporary Worship Service at 11:00am on Sunday mornings. Following Easter, the 11:00am service will shift from traditional to contemporary music, led by a praise team under the guidance of Jackie Jewel.

This new service has been a long-requested and carefully planned endeavor. While contemporary worship has been a part of Victory for over twenty years, it hasn’t been present at the Mesa campus for quite some time.

It’s important to note that traditional worship remains the cornerstone of Victory’s worship experience. This is our primary focus. We’re not aiming to “blend” traditional and contemporary styles. Our Saturday service at 4:00pm and Sunday services at 8:00am and 9:30am will continue to uphold traditional styles with excellence. The 11:00am Sunday service will adopt a contemporary style, also delivered with excellence.

FROM FINAL WORDS TO ETERNAL IMPACTJoin with the Victory community as we traverse the finals days of Christ’s passion. It begins on Palm Sunday as we celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entrance into Jerusalem and concludes with the joyous celebration of His resurrection on Easter morning! But during Holy Week we take time to pause and meditate on the final days and final words of Jesus’ earthly life.

PALM SUNDAY is a time to wave your palm branches and shout “Hosanna” as we celebrate with the throngs of believers that our King has come! This weekend is focused around how Jesus is the fulfillment of prophecy, and yet, on this joyous day, the crowds do not understand that the story does not end with a joyful procession.

MAUNDY THURSDAY we gather to remember the profound rescue of our souls, when Jesus reinterprets the Passover as His Last Supper and calls his disciples to “Do this in remembrance of me.” We will come together in heartfelt worship and reflection, recalling the incredible truth of God’s enduring love and salvation through Christ. At our 6pm service, we are especially excited to witness a beautiful milestone as some of our children experience their First Communion—a tender reminder of new beginnings and the grace that unites us all. At the end of the service the altar will be stripped even as the life was stripped from Jesus.

GOOD FRIDAY is a beautiful tenebrae service of music and word. Tenebrae means darkness, and this is the last day that we meditate on Jesus’ final hours on earth. Focused around the Seven Last Words that Jesus spoke, this powerful service includes readings, times of introspection, special music from the choir and soloists, as well as hymns and songs for the congregation to join. The extinguishing of candles is a visual reminder of Jesus’ impending death. An opportunity to place a nail in the cross concludes this somber yet meaningful service.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS will be open on both Maundy Thursday and Good Friday in the Fellowship Hall. From 3-8pm these interactive stations will be available for your personal devotional time, and include scripture, reflections and interactive ways for you to meditate on the sacrifice Jesus made for you.

SUNRISE: He is risen, indeed! A meaningful tradition at Victory includes our special Sunrise service outdoors at 6am. Celebrating the resurrection as the run rises, this unique service includes communion, a special visit from the women at the tomb as shared by our pastoral team, and music provided by our Handbell Ensemble. There will be a continental breakfast in the Fellowship Hall from 6:45 to 7:45am and all are invited!

EASTER: After a long week of contemplating the pain and suffering Jesus went through for us, we get to celebrate that the empty tomb shows God’s plan to bring hope, new life, and freedom to all who trust in Christ.! Our lead pastor will be preaching from Matthew 28, and the Traditional Easter services include soloists, choir and brass on Saturday 4pm, Sunday 8am & 9:30am. If you could use extra time to park or want to get a better seat, the 8am service will be exactly the same as 9:30am. Contemporary worship and Children’s Church is at 11am.

If you have family or friends out of town that you would like to invite to worship with us, we will be live-streaming each day of Holy Week. Visit victorylutheran.com/easter for more information. We look forward to experiencing the joy of Easter with you!

Good Friday Cantata 4 & 6pm
2025-04-18 16:00 - 19:00 | AZ
Good Friday CantataFriday, April 18, 2025 @ 4 & 6pm

Join us for a deeply moving Good Friday Cantata, a musical commemoration of the crucifixion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is also a chance to experience the moving Tenebrae service that features the progressive extinguishing of candles, combined with the reading and singing of psalms and hymns, heightens the experience, symbolizing the growing darkness that fell over the world as Jesus suffered on the cross. This is more than just a service—it’s a profound musical journey that invites deep reflection and worship.
