Our Christmas Eve services are pretty much the same as weekend services ... just with some festive flair! Expect Christmas decor, a Christmassy time of worship, and a Christmas message from Lead Pastor Forrest Jenan—all totaling 60 minutes. And every Christmas service is the same, no matter where you go or when! You should 100% invite your friends and family.
