Academy Kids for Nursery (6 weeks) – Preschool at all December 24th services. Older children are encouraged to attend with their families where we’ll have special elements throughout the service that help them engage with the wonder of Christmas.
CONTEMPORARY SERVICES
Our contemporary services are designed to feel warm, worshipful, and family-friendly from the moment you walk in. You’ll experience modern worship music that celebrates the hope and joy of Jesus’ birth, meaningful teaching that connects the Christmas story to everyday life, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
TRADITIONAL SERVICE
The traditional Christmas Eve service will be warm and beautiful celebration of our Savior’s birth, featuring Christmas carols led by the choir, children’s ensemble, soloists, and a string orchestra.
Both service styles will culminate in our traditional candle lighting and singing of Silent Night. You’ll also find a photo spot for capturing the moment with friends or family.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What do I wear?
People at Academy wear anything from jeans and flannel shirts to suits for Christmas Eve. Wear what makes you comfortable – you’ll fit in!
When should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 15 or more minutes prior to service, with an extra 10-15 minutes allowed for the Northside 3:00 & 4:30 services or to check in your children.
What about my kids?
Our service is family friendly for all ages, but Academy Kids has a space for your nursery (6 weeks old) through PreSchool aged child to be lovingly cared for during the December 24th services if they would be more comfortable there.
What's the service like?
No matter which service you attend you’ll enjoy singing Christmas carols, hearing a special Christmas message from our pastor, and lighting candles that will create special moments to remember for your whole family.
What do I do when I arrive?
If you will not be checking in children, head directly to our Worship Center entrance where our greeters will direct you to our Worship Center. Feel free to visit with those in the lobby or ask any questions at our Connection Center, then head to the Worship Center, find your preferred seat and visit with those around you until service begins.
