Celebrate Christmas

1:00 | 2:30 | 4:00 | 5:30 | 7:00 PM

Join us for Christmas Eve!

Service times are at 1:00, 2:30, 4:00, 5:30 & 7:00 PM on Wednesday, December 24.

It was pronounced the night Jesus was born, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all people." This is the Good News—the wonderful message of God's redemption to all through Jesus. We hear this message throughout the Gospel, and the people surrounding the Christmas narrative confirm this timeless truth: Christmas is for you.

Experience an hour with us on Christmas Eve as we celebrate the greatest message ever told—a Savior has been born! Join us for an evening of worship and candle lighting. We look forward to celebrating with you!

If you cannot attend in person, you can still livestream our services during our scheduled Christmas Eve service times of 1:00, 2:30, 4:00, 5:30, and 7:00 PM.

Nativity Petting Zoo

Join us in the Youth Center from 1:30 to 7:00 PM on Christmas Eve!

One of our most popular events on Christmas Eve is our Nativity Petting Zoo! We expect to have camels, llamas, donkeys, and other animals from the Idle-Hour Ranch in the Youth Center from 1:30 to 7:00 PM. This annual event is great for families of all ages! Be sure to stop by before or after services to see the animals, take some photos, and enjoy the evening together.

NOTE: the Nativity Petting Zoo ends at 7:00 PM. If you plan on attending the late Christmas Eve service (at 7:00 PM), be sure to arrive early so you can see the animals!

Parking on Christmas Eve

We know parking on Christmas Eve can be tricky, but we have a helpful tip for our regular WCC members!

We suggest using the parking lot off of Northwoods Blvd, just south of Worthington Christian Church. 

The owner of the office buildings and the Worthington Pediatric Dentist office has kindly made their lots available to you and your family on Christmas Eve. The walk from the side lot to the main entrance of the church is easy, and you're likely to find a spot there quicker than if you try to park in one of our two main lots.

If you are a WCC member and can park in the side lot off of Northwoods Blvd, we encourage you to please do so. Please consider it a gift to our first-time guests!

KIDS CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

The Great Christmas Giveaway

Sunday, Dec. 14 at 4:00 PM

Our K-5th graders did an AMAZING job with our annual Kids Christmas Program, 'The Great Christmas Giveaway!' 

We want to thank the kids for their hard work and their parents for bringing them to rehearsal every week since September. We also want to thank our volunteers and leaders who made the evening possible. We couldn't have done it without you!

If you're struggling this Christmas...

While Christmas is supposed to be a time of 'great joy,' it doesn't always feel that way. Sometimes, Christmas is the time of year when we feel the most grief-stricken, isolated, and alone. Before those feelings take you down a dark path, please consider contacting one of the resources below.

  • LifeCare Counseling is a ministry of Worthington Christian Church that offers professional counseling by licensed counselors who specialize in healing the brokenness in individuals, families, couples, groups, and children. Call 614-885-9417 and leave a detailed voicemail regarding your situation and a counselor will be in contact with you.
  • Cornerstone Family Services is a non-profit, faith-based counseling and coaching organization offering a wide array of services including marriage and premarital counseling, adolescent and teen counseling, individual and group counseling. Call or email their office and their intake specialists will find the right counselor for you and your loved ones (614-459-3003 or intake@cstoneohio.org).
  • GriefShare is a support group for anyone who has lost a loved one and is struggling through the pain of grief and loss.
  • DivorceCare is a support group for anyone who has gone through a divorce and is struggling with life after marriage.
  • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, as well as prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals. If you are thinking about suicide or suspect that a loved one is, please call or text 988 to reach the crisis hotline.

If you have a specific need, please visit our Prayer & Support page or email us, and we will try to connect you with someone who can help. There is no shame in letting someone know you're hurting. Please tell someone because sometimes we get far too good at hiding the pain.

And never forget that God dearly loves you even in the darkest, most lonely moments of your life.

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

(Luke 2:14)
