Event Information
The Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church has offered this "walk-through" pageant since 1996. it begins in the Collegedale Church sanctuary and continues across the campus of Southern Adventist University. Casual dress and comfortable shoes are encouraged for the leisurely, less-than-a-mile walk. Be prepared for a warm day and bring water to keep yourself hydrated.
Date
SonRise is offered each year the Saturday before Easter.
Mission Statement
SonRise seeks:
-
To reach the non-Christians in our local community. What a powerful story we have to share with those who have never heard of the life-changing significance of Christ's time on earth (or who may have heard it, but rejected it).
-
To bring back former Christians of any denomination who may have been faithful Christians at some point but have now wandered from their faith.
-
To familiarize other Christian faiths with Seventh-day Adventists, letting them see that while we worship on Sabbath we do indeed believe the Bible, celebrate Christ's resurrection and to offer them awareness of other Adventist beliefs.
-
To reenergize Seventh-day Adventists who are struggling with their faith, reminding them of some of the most important parts of the gospel.
-
To offer our church members an opportunity for active service in sharing the gospel with their neighbors, family, and friends.
