Christmas is certainly known as a time for gathering with family and friends, and many of us will do that on Christmas Eve as well. So why have a service on Christmas Eve? Because we are a church that belongs to Jesus Christ. Above all things, Christmas is a time we remember that Jesus, who is God’s only Son, was born to us. God sent this most precious gift to us, though we as sinners against God deserve nothing good from him. In accordance with his promises and steadfast love, he sent us Jesus as a man that he might die in our place, taking our sins and God’s judgment for them upon himself, and that he might also rise from the dead three days later. He now offers us the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and an unending love, here and now, to all who repent of their sin and trust in him by faith. He makes all things new.

This worship service is in honor of Jesus, our Savior and King, “who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” – Philippians 2:6-11 (ESV).

We would love for you and your family to join us for this service as we celebrate Christ together. We pray you too might find new life in Jesus Christ by trusting in him, the new born King, to rescue you from sin and death.
