Written and composed in 2014, Jesse and Leah Roberts (Poor Bishop Hooper) were inspired to write Golgotha to help the curious better understand the truth and importance of Jesus’ crucifixion. Complementing the beautiful visual history that surrounds the ‘Stations of the Cross’ tradition, they composed fourteen, scripture-based original songs that invite the mind and heart to experience the Savior’s suffering in new ways. With original music at its core, The Golgotha Experience uses powerful visuals, God’s Word, and guided prayer, to draw people nearer to Jesus. 

Since its origin, The Golgotha Experience has become a full-fledged ministry, and has had a widespread spiritual impact on thousands of individuals around the country. The Roberts have been blessed to serve in a variety of settings - from living rooms and churches, to theaters and prisons. Their prayer is that God would continue to use The Golgotha Experience for His purposes and for the strengthening of His people. 

'Golgotha' is the Aramaic term used in the scriptures meaning, 'the place of the skull;' the hill on which Jesus was crucified.

We gather for Good Friday to remember the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He took our sins upon him and wiped them clean forever. This service is a reflective, worshipful service where we give thanks to God for his sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
