Celebrate the coming of Christ at one of our six Christmas Eve Worship Services. Most services in the Sanctuary will have an overflow option in the Wakefield Chapel. Sanctuary doors will open 30 minutes before each service, and once the Sanctuary is full guests will be ushered into the Chapel to watch the service on a livestream video feed.
BUILD YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS NATIVITY

Help us create a live nativity on Christmas Eve! Families are encouraged to come early to help kids choose from our large costume collection (kings, shepherds, barn animals, angels), then step into the Sanctuary and help us make the Christmas story come alive! We’ll call your kids forward as we retell the story of the birth of Jesus through scripture reading, carols, king and shepherd puppets, and a “Holy Family.” This is the perfect service for families with young children.
