Join with Thousands and Watch the Easter Sunrise Service at Lincoln Memorial: ‘A Joyous Moment’

Easter is this Sunday and the nation’s capital is gearing up for a celebration service right on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Each year thousands head to the National Mall to attend one of the country’s largest Easter sunrise services. 

The inter-denominational event, hosted by the National Community Church, has been attracting believers from all over the world for more than 40 years for its praise, worship, and prayer – all in celebration of Resurrection Sunday. 

Bestselling author Mark Batterson, the lead pastor of National Community Church and a Regent University graduate, will be speaking at the event. He calls it a “pure joy” to see so many believers gathered together for Easter. 

“It has become an incredible, not just D.C. tradition. People make a pilgrimage all over the country, all over the world [because] there is no better place to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior,” Batterson told CBN’s Faith Nation.
