A candlelight service
Come home for Christmas Eve.
Celebrate the birth of Jesus with us. An hour of Christmas music, a message from our Complicated Christmas series, and the moment the whole room lights candles together.
In the busyness of the season, take an hour to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the peace and promise of Christmas. Wherever you're coming from this year, we'll save you a seat.
