Our Christmas Eve service begins at 6:30pm with time together outside for appetizers and hot cocoa, continuing inside at 7:00 as we worship together. It is always a meaningful night for our church family and a great opportunity to invite friends and neighbors.

We begin the evening with appetizers and time to connect with others. The service includes music, cooperatesinging, Scripture readings, and a candle lighting moment to celebrate the light of Christ.

Come as you are. Our church family in St Pete is pretty casual, even on Christmas Eve. You will see everything from shorts and a button down to a simple dress or jeans and a T shirt. Wear whatever helps you feel comfortable and ready to worship.
