Our Christmas Eve gatherings are one-hour experiences for everyone. Together, we’ll sing Christmas carols, spread candlelight, share communion, and celebrate the good news of the season: Jesus Christ is born!

“But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord.”
What To Expect
-
Our gatherings will be roughly one hour in length and we hope it will be a meaningful and memorable experience for you. The gathering will feature:
Singing classic carols & worship (we even have a Christmas choir this year!)
A short message on the good news of Christmas
A special time of communion
Candlelight service (& glow sticks for young kids)
Kid-friendly moments in-service and Christmas activity bags
We recommend coming early to grab a Christmas selfie and enjoy the abundant Switchback coffee, cocoa, and other treats pre-service.
Doors open about 30 minutes before each gathering.
-
Our nursery environments for infants and toddlers ARE open on Christmas Eve for both gatherings.
We welcome all children to join us in the gathering!
We know an hour may be a long time for your kids to stay engaged—especially on Christmas Eve—so we will be providing Christmas activity bags for young kids to help them participate in the gathering. The bags will include fun Christmas activities, crafts, and glow sticks (for kids who may not be ready to handle a candle!)
Most importantly, we want you to know that we LOVE the sound of children in our gatherings! If needed, however, we have extra seating available in the foyer for kids who need a little extra space to wiggle.

Can’t join us in-person?
The Christmas Eve service will be live-streamed online and available afterwards for on-demand viewing at Facebook and Youtube.
We hope you consider inviting some close friends or family to watch with you! Plan a meal to enjoy before or after this service to celebrate. Make yourself a good cup of coffee or cocoa. Dress up and take that Christmas picture. And don’t forget to have a candle ready for the candlelight portion of the service!
