Worship Center
Our Worship Center is the heart of our Christmas Eve gatherings—our largest venue where the service will be experienced live. Join us here for dynamic worship, powerful teaching, and a shared celebration of Christ’s birth surrounded by the full church family.
Fireside Room
Our Fireside Room will be open on Christmas as a warm and festive space to gather after each service—complete with cookies, photo opportunities, and live jazz music. It’s a perfect spot to linger, connect, and celebrate the season with friends and family.
Community Center
For those who prefer the Fireside experience during our regular Sunday gatherings, the Community Center will offer that same comfortable environment. This live-streamed venue includes reduced volume, tables for viewing, and additional activities for kids—creating a relaxed and engaging way to experience the Christmas Eve gathering together.
