One Savior. Many Voices. Endless Praise.

Celebrate the birth of Christ through a joyful morning of music and worship! Featuring Hosanna, the Chancel Choir, Aglow! Youth Choir, and musicians from the Jacksonville Symphony, this special service will fill our sanctuary with the beautiful sounds of Christmas.

Breakfast will still be served at 9:00 AM, but there will be no Sunday School.

Help us share the joy of Christmas by providing complete holiday meals to families in need! Donate food items, provide an entire basket, or give financially to help us make Christmas a little brighter for our neighbors.

See How You Can Give

We recognize that Christmas isn't always a joyful season for everyone. If you're experiencing grief, loneliness, or a difficult season, we invite you to a quiet, reflective service filled with prayer, Scripture, hope, and Holy Communion.

Come find comfort and peace in the presence of God.

As we celebrate God's greatest gift to us, we invite you to prayerfully consider how you can give this Christmas season. During worship, we'll bring our year-end gifts forward to the manger as an expression of gratitude, generosity, and faith.

Whether you're looking for a place to worship, an opportunity to serve, or a fun way to make Christmas memories with your family, we'd love for you to celebrate with us!
