Easter Sunday on the Upper East Side

Are you overwhelmed by all of the bad news? Do you wonder if God is really good?

In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz delivers an inspiring sermon titled "As You Are" that reveals the goodness of God through the lens of the resurrection story. Against the backdrop of a world filled with bad news, Ricky reminds us that Easter brings the ultimate good news—Jesus is alive!

What To Expect

Sunday Gathering

Easter Sunday at Meta Church is something you don’t want to miss! We’ve been planning this service for weeks with YOU in mind! Our Sunday church gatherings are about 75 minutes in length, and they’re filled with worship, community, prayer, and a relevant message to help you follow Jesus no matter where you are on your faith journey.

Getting Here

Meta Church is located in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood of the Upper East Side, and we’re committed to serving the people of the Upper East Side and East Harlem. We meet every week at the Kolping House on East 88th Street, so we’re easy to get to via the Q, 4, 5, and 6 trains as well as the M101, M102, M103, and M86 buses.

Meta Kids

Meta Kids is a clean, safe, and fun children’s environment serving families with children between the ages of 12 months through 5th grade. Every week our team of volunteers prepares an interactive lesson to help children learn about Jesus on their level, and Easter Sunday is no exception! We’re excited for your child to have fun while they learn about Jesus.

Need More Information?

We’ll have two services on Easter Sunday, each lasting about 75 minutes. The first Easter service will start at 10am and the second Easter service will start at 12pm.

Most of our church attenders dress casual, but you can wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Dress up or dress down, it’s up to you!

The short answer: YES! Meta Church is a community made up of imperfect people from all walks of life. Come as you are and we’ll meet you there.

We have a great ministry called Meta Kids that’s all about helping children ages 12 months through 5th grade learn about Jesus on their level. Read more about Meta Kids here.

We meet every Sunday at the Kolping House Building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, located at 165 East 88th Street, between Lexington and Third Avenues.

Watch Easter 2024 @ Meta

Watch our Easter Sunday message from Easter 2024 at Meta Church to get a feel for what you can expect.

When you think about the claims made in the Easter story, it all seems quite outrageous. That God came to live on this earth in human form, named Jesus, and that He lived a sinless life, died on a cross for the sins of the world, only to be raised to life again, and now His grace grants eternal life to all who believe… That all just seems OUTRAGEOUS!

Even for those who embrace and believe these claims, it can still sound or feel like it’s a bit too good to be true.
