Two big-name artists are coming to the Majestic Valley Arena this weekend.

Thousand Foot Krutch and Phil Wickham will perform at the Kalispell arena in conjunction with two events hosted by Fresh Life Church.

Skull Church Majestic takes place on Good Friday and features a gospel message by the Rev. Levi Lusko and a performance by popular rock band Thousand Foot Krutch.

The band is fresh from its War of Change tour promoting its recent hit album “The End is Where We Begin” and new EP “Metamorphosiz: The End Remixes Volume 1.”

Since its beginning in 1998, the band has released several best-selling albums, four top 25 Active Rock hits, plus several soundtrack slots. Music from the band has also been featured on ESPN, in various movie trailers and television shows.

"I love what Skull Church is doing,” says Trevor McNevan, lead singer of Thousand Foot Krutch. “Communicating God's heart to this generation with relevance and quality — that's Skull Church. We share the same heart, and it’s a blast to be a part of!”

Doors open at 6 p.m. with the event kicking off at 7 p.m. There is no charge.

For those who can’t make it, Skull Church Majestic will be broadcast live online through a high-definition webcast at www.skullchurch.com, and streamed live on Fresh Life Radio at www.freshliferadio.com or 91.3 FM in the Flathead Valley.

On Sunday, guest artist Phil Wickham will be part of Fresh Life’s Easter service at the arena.

Wickham is best known for his six best-selling albums, featuring songs such as “Cannons,” “Heaven Fall Down” and “At Your Name (Yahweh, Yahweh).” 

"I'm very excited to get back to Kalispell, Mont., to celebrate Easter Sunday with the Fresh Life Church family,” says Wickham. “Pastor Levi and Fresh Life Church are doing great things in this city, and I'm honored to be a small part of it."

Fresh Life will also put its faith into action by hosting a food drive benefiting the local Flathead Food Bank. Collection items for the drive include high-protein, nonperishable food items and canned goods, which can be donated at the event.

The Easter service starts at 10 a.m. Sunday, with doors opening at 9 a.m.
