Easter at Futures Church Paradise Reflects Growing Search for Hope in Uncertain Time
As cost-of-living pressures, mental health challenges, and global uncertainty continue to impact Australians, Futures Church Paradise is inviting the Adelaide community to experience a message of hope this Easter.
The church will host a combined Easter Sunday service followed by a large-scale family picnic, with Adelaide's largest Easter egg hunt.
Futures Church Australian Senior Associate Pastor Josh Greenwood says Easter's message of renewal and hope is resonating strongly in today's climate.
"Across our community, people are facing increasing pressure, financially, emotionally, and socially," said Pastor Josh Greenwood, Australian Senior Associate Pastor. "Easter reminds us that even in the most difficult seasons, there is hope, restoration, and a future."

Community Focus
With increasing reports of loneliness, anxiety, and disconnection — particularly among young people and families — Futures Church is positioning Easter as an opportunity for reconnection and community engagement.
"This is more than a church service — it's about creating a space where families can connect, kids can have fun, and people can find genuine hope," Pastor Greenwood said.
The event is open to all members of the public, regardless of background or faith experience.
