Bring your family and invite your friends to join us as we celebrate the hope, peace, and joy of Christ together.

The preschoolers will bring the nativity to life and celebrate the true gift of the season at our Happy Birthday Jesus party!  Our 2s-5s will have a ball on Dec. 3 AND Dec. 10 making Christmas crafts, ornaments and so much more!

Get ready for the brightest night of the year from 6–7 PM on Wednesday, December 10th! Kids will enjoy an exciting time filled with glow-in-the-dark games, music, snacks, and a special Christmas message about Jesus being the Light of the World. Invite a friend, wear something that glows, and come shine bright with us!

Middle Schoolers & High Schoolers - wear your ugliest Christmas sweater, bring your best Christmas trivia knowledge, and get ready to participate in some reindeer games as we tie a bow on the fall semester.
