Christmas Eve Worship

This year we will offer two identical worship services on Christmas Eve at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Each service will include candlelight worship and a children’s message. Join us as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Christmas may feel competitive at times, but it’s not about proving our greatness—it’s about celebrating God’s. The holiday reminds us of the astonishing truth that the all-powerful God became small, entering the world as a fragile baby in Bethlehem. This child, Jesus, is both fully human and fully divine—the Son of God who would teach with unmatched wisdom, perform miracles, conquer death, and reign forever. The prophet Isaiah foretold not only his humble birth but also his glorious return, when he will bring perfect peace and restoration to the world. In remembering this, we find comfort and hope—because as Christ’s greatness shines, our fears and anxieties fade in its light.
