BMA Easter Sunrise Service

On April 20, 2025, the Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) invites everyone to experience the spirit of Easter at the Ecumenical Easter Sunrise Service. Residents, seasonal visitors, and travelers from across the region are welcome to gather at Borrego Community United Methodist Church, located at 633 Church Ln, Borrego Springs, CA 92004, for this special event.

A Regional Celebration of Unity and Renewal


Each year, the BMA brings together people of all faith backgrounds for a sunrise service celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Easter Sunrise Service is more than a local tradition—it’s a regional expression of fellowship and hope, where multiple congregations come together to share in a moment of collective faith.


This year’s service will be held outdoors in a peaceful setting, embracing Borrego Springs’ desert beauty as the backdrop to this time-honored tradition. Everyone is invited, regardless of denomination or belief.


A Week of Faith-Based Events


In addition to the Easter Sunrise Service, churches across Borrego Springs will host services and gatherings throughout Holy Week. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the town’s diverse and welcoming faith community.


Whether you’re a long-time resident or visiting during Easter weekend, you’ll find open doors and open hearts at every event.

St. Barnabas Episcopal Church expands its ongoing collaboration with Rostros y Corazón For the first time, Fr. David Madsen and Jan Naragon of St. Barnabas (Borrego Springs) are leading a regular Eucharist service at Rostros y Corazón in Salton City. The gathering will take place the first and third Wednesday, creating a new opportunity for worship, fellowship, and community connection. The service builds on an existing relationship between the two organizations and reflects the many connections already shared between Borrego Springs and Salton City. Many West Shores residents work in Borrego Springs, attend school here, shop here, receive services here, or have family and friends in the Borrego Valley. The two communities are neighbors in many ways. The new service reflects St. Barnabas's commitment to extending ministry beyond its church walls while continuing to support relationships throughout the desert region. By gathering regularly at Rostros y Corazón, organizers hope to create a welcoming space for prayer, conversation, encouragement, and connection. Rostros y Corazón , led by Graciela Mendivil Ramos, is a nonprofit community center serving Salton City and the surrounding West Shores area. The organization is known for supporting families and connecting residents with needed resources.
