Candlelight Christmas Eve
Join us for a special Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, celebrating the birth of Jesus. Through Scripture readings, well-loved carols, heartfelt prayers, and thoughtful reflections, we'll remember the hope and joy brought by Christ's coming. The service will culminate as the light passes from candle to candle, filling the room with a warm, gentle glow as we sing “Silent Night.” This communal gathering offers a radiant, reverent atmosphere, drawing people of all ages to pause and embrace the true spirit of the season - Christ's love.
All ages will worship together in this family-friendly candlelight service.

No Place Like Home - Sermon Series
Join us this Christmas season as we explore the profound story of hope, peace, love, and joy found within Matthew Chapters 1 and 2. Through the lens of the incarnation of Jesus Christ, we will dive into the true essence of Christmas, reflecting on how His birth can instill these timeless virtues in our homes every day. Come and be inspired by the message of the greatest gift ever given, and discover how the spirit of the season can transform our lives in meaningful ways.
Advent
The word Advent means “arrival” — the coming of someone or something important. For us, it’s the time we remember and look forward to God coming to earth in the person of Jesus, the promised Savior. Christmas celebrates His birth, but Advent is about the waiting — the slowing down, the preparing, the longing. It’s a season that invites us to pause in the middle of the noise and busyness and make room in our hearts for Jesus to come near. From December 1–25, we invite you to join us as a church family on this journey of hope, peace, joy, and love — focusing together on the miracle of God stepping into our world through the humble birth of Jesus in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago.
