Easter Sunday on April 20*

This year, we have four opportunities for worship on Easter Sunday at Mountain Brook Baptist Church. Please note the change in times from our normal Sunday schedule. In order to accommodate a large crowd for Easter, we will offer three services in the Sanctuary, along with a sunrise service at the church. Sunday School classes will not meet. 

*Due to the crowd we anticipate, please register if you plan to attend an Easter service in the Sanctuary (members of the praise band, choir, and orchestra do not need to register). Choose the service you plan to attend and register below or call the church office (205-871-0331). Be sure to register your child if you need childcare. 

6:30 a.m. Sunrise Service at MBBC (no registration needed)
Join us for a short sunrise service at MBBC in partnership with St. Peter's Anglican Church and Hope Community Church. We'll sing familiar Easter hymns, read the Easter story, and hear a short reflection from Dr. Splawn as we watch the sunrise together. We'll gather on the Montevallo Road side of the church near the half-day entrance; plan to bring a tailgate chair if you'd like to sit.
