We have a heart for our local Foster Family community. That's why every year we work with the State of Delaware to help provide Christmas gifts foster children! This year we have over 500 foster children who need gift sponsors! If you would like to purchase gifts for a child, volunteer to serve in this outreach, or make a financial donation, click the button below. 

We are ushering in the season of Hope and the birth of Christ with our Christmas-themed message series, which runs December 8 - 24, and the closer we get to Christmas, the more we have to celebrate!

On December 22, we will hold Christmas Celebration Services with uplifting music, an encouraging message, and some special surprises, including a children's choir and fun, indoor sleigh rides for kids!
Then on December 24, we are pulling out all the stops for an unforgettable Christmas Eve Candlelight Service and Interactive Experience — from our live nativity and petting zoo, to the hot chocolate and cookie bar!  When the services start, you’ll be immersed in a beautiful atmosphere, filled with reflective music, familiar carols, a special story for children, and an inspiring message for all. Then watch as the room comes aglow with candles.

Throughout the season, you can gather your loved ones and snap a few photos around one of our beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Even the grounds surrounding our Bear Campus will be transformed into a winter wonderland with thousands of twinkling lights.

So mark your calendar and make some memories as you celebrate Christmas with us!
