Join Us This Christmas Season

As Christmas draws near, we remember the wonder of God stepping into our world with real hope and real joy. This season invites us to pause, breathe deep, and let the story of Christ’s coming steady our hearts.


On this page you will find resources to help you prepare for Christmas and details for our Christmas Eve gathering.


Come join us as we celebrate the One who came to bring light into the darkness and life into the world.

Advent Resources

Advent invites us to live in the tension between the darkness we feel and the light we know is coming.


To help you walk with intention through this season, we have gathered resources that steady the heart and lift the eyes. These readings, prayers, and practices are simple guides for those who want to linger in hope and let the promise of Christ shape the days leading to Christmas.


This season forms us into people who watch and hope. People who tell the truth about sorrow while anchoring their hearts in the promise of joy. Let Advent awaken your longing and your hope as we watch together for the coming of the King.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is one of the sweetest nights of the year for our church family. As the city slows down, we gather to remember that Christ stepped into our world with light and joy. It is a simple and beautiful evening with appetizers, Christmas songs, Scripture readings, and a candle lighting moment that fills the room with warmth.


Whether you are part of Gulf Coast or looking for a church in St Petersburg to visit this Christmas, we would love for you to join us as we celebrate the One who came to make all things new.
