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 celebrate with us at our online campus. We will live-stream during our scheduled Christmas Eve service times of 1:00, 2:30, 4:00, 5:30, and 7:00 PM.

Operation Christmas Child

Christmas is the time of year when we celebrate and remember the gift of Jesus to a world that desperately needs a savior.  His birth, ministry, death and resurrection are what gives us the eternal hope that moves us to serve our Lord and the teaching that defines what it means to “love our neighbor.”

That's why for the last several years we have encouraged our members to pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. It is a wonderful way to share God’s love with the children of the world! Each shoebox is unique and filled with gifts to offer encouragement, fun and joy — and you can choose to personally fill your own shoebox or build your shoebox online!

Our goal is to pack or build 500 shoeboxes this Christmas!

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.

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.

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

(Luke 2:14)
