Christmas Eve
This is the story of a rag-tag bunch of church members who set out to perform a Christmas play, and the director who tried his hardest to just keep it all together. Get a closer look inside the lives of the director and the actors playing Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, and a wise man. Each actor feels they're ill-equipped to portray their assigned characters, reminding us that those who were part of the original Christmas story were flawed people, just like the rest of us.
Christmas Performance
Join us for our Sunday morning service on December 14 as the preschool kids perform some Christmas songs for the congregation.
Christmas Eve
Join us for a beautiful Christmas Eve candlelight service filled with carols, Scripture readings, and a message of hope and salvation. Bring your family and friends as we reflect on the miracle of Christ's birth and light candles to symbolize the light of Christ shining in the darkness.
What time is the candlelight service?
Our candlelight service is on Christmas Eve at 3:00PM (in-person only) and 6:30PM (in-person and online). There is no formal childcare during this service.
Where do I park?
We have a parking lot accessible from 33rd Street. If our parking lot is full, there’s plenty of free street parking available in the area.
What should I wear?
Come exactly as you are - don’t dress up or down for anyone.
Can I watch services online if I can’t attend in person?
Absolutely! We will be going live for our 6:30PM service. If for any reason you can’t make our in-person service, you can always watch it live or watch it back here on our YouTube channel.
