Christmas Day Video
We have prepared a special video for you and your family to watch together on Christmas Day. There will be another hilarious edition of “Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child”, a special message from Pastor Pete, and Christmas songs ready for singing!
Series Overview
The story of Christmas is not random. It didn't start with wise men, shepherds, and a babe in the manger. Instead, it started, well, “In the Beginning”. It is a love story between Creator and creation: beginning with a tree planted in a garden—a symbol of love, choice, and relationship. Ultimately, it ends with a tree, carved into the form of a cross—bearing the weight of our sin with an unconditional forgiveness cannot be overcome by the brokenness of the world! Join us this Advent, as we explore the connections between Christmas, Creation, and the Constant Presence of God with us.

Special Events
Live Nativity & Petting Zoo
This event has been canceled due to weather forecasts for Sunday, December 17.
The weather outside is (going to be) frightful…
We are disappointed to announce that we are canceling our Live Nativity and Petting Zoo due to another forecast of a nearly 100% chance of rain on Sunday. Our animals will need to stay safe and dry. We are already looking for ways to hold this event in another form in the future—stay tuned!
