Welcome to Easter at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church!

There is free parking at Shoreline Park. See the map to Shoreline for directions.

There is ample free parking in our lot on Fremont Avenue. To enter from the east, drive past the entrance to the parking lot and make a U-turn. Feel free to use one of the designated Visitor Parking spots, next to the Children's Ministry building (on the right side if you're facing Trinity Court).

On Easter Sunday, kids join us in worship. 

At the 6:30 am service, children are welcome for the sunrise service outdoors. 

During the 10 am service in our sanctuary, kids can sit together with their families or check out the "praygrounds" in the sanctuary — spaces designed specifically for kids!

Nursery (child care) is available during the 10 am service for ages 6 months–kindergarten.

Stop by the Welcome Table in Trinity Court. Our volunteers will greet you, help you find where to go, and get your kids checked in.

All staff and volunteers are Safe Church trained. Read more about our Safe Church Program.

On Sunday mornings (including Easter) students in grades 6–12 worship with their families in the sanctuary. 

During the week there are lots of ways for youth to get involved. Jump over to the Youth Ministry page for more information about our vibrant programs.

All staff and volunteers are Safe Church trained. Read more about our Safe Church Program.

Our 6:30 am Sunrise Service is casual, so come as you are! It will be an outdoor service. Feel free to bring a folding chair.

The 10 am Traditional Service will include Easter hymns (organ, choir, brass instruments), traditional liturgy, and end with a sing-along of the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah.

People wear everything from casual to “Sunday best.” Come in whatever makes you most comfortable.

You’ll notice everyone wearing nametags. It’s so much easier meeting new people when everyone can greet each other by name! Stop by our Welcome Table and pick up a nametag for yourself.

God calls us to be fully open and affirming of LGBTQ+ persons. We embrace diversity in race, sexuality, gender, class, immigration status, ability, and age. You are a beloved child of God, full stop!

We seek to be a community that welcomes and affirms all. In that spirit, on May 21, 2020, the session (governing body) of Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church moved, seconded and approved the following statement:

Following the risen Christ, and seeking to make our church a true community of hospitality, Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church works for the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people in the life, ministry and witness of our church and society.

As a congregation we are doing the work of listening and learning so that we can fully live into this affirming statement.

We invite everyone to help us build a more inclusive and welcoming community by wearing pronoun pins or stickers. Though most people are cisgender (having a gender identity which matches the one they were assigned at birth), many people experience gender differently in a way that is not obvious from their appearance or name. Just as it's polite to call someone by their preferred name, it is polite to refer to them by their preferred pronouns. Wearing pronoun buttons/stickers makes everyone’s pronouns explicit and helps to normalize asking and talking about pronouns, as opposed to assuming or guessing.
