Christmas Services
Join us as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with Christmas carols, special music, candlelighting and an inspiring message! Services will be held at our Bear and Middletown campuses, as well as online (see locations, dates and times below). To make sure everyone has a seat for the service they want to attend, we ask that you make free reservations for one service (only). All services are the same and last one hour. Note, on Sunday, December 26th, our celebration will continue with Special Church Online Services (livestream only, no in-person) and will include acoustic worship and some fresh, Christmas-themed inspirations shared from our pastors' home to your home!
