All are welcome to come and take part in this wonderful Grand Canyon tradition!

Join us for the 89th annual Easter Sunrise Service on the rim of the beautiful Grand Canyon. This wonderful tradition started in 1935.

Since its inception, the Easter Sunrise Service has always been interdenominational.  We will worship with members of all Christian faith traditions. Let’s rejoice together with fellow believers from around the world as we lift our voices in praise and hymns as we watch the sun rise over God’s beautiful creation the Grand Canyon.
