Christmas 2026

We would love to have you join us for Christmas: The Whole Story – a special Christmas advent series, and with us explore what Christmas is really all about.

Our advent worship services are at 9:30 am Sunday mornings starting on November 29 or the four weeks leading up to Christmas. We will also celebrate a candlelight service on Christmas Eve at 6 pm.

Christmas didn’t start with a manger and it doesn’t end with a star. It’s part of a bigger, breathtaking story that began before time and continues to shape our lives today. From ancient promises and angelic visits to humble obedience and miraculous birth, “Christmas: The Whole Story” traces the wide arc of God’s redemptive plan and the people He used to fulfill it. Over the four weeks of Advent leading up to Christmas we will relive the anticipation, the mystery, and the glory of Jesus’ arrival – God with us.

Join us this year, as together we hear the Whole Story. 

HOPE – November 29

JOY – December 6

PEACE – December 13  

LOVE – December 20

Music has always been a huge part of Christmas. It seems like the radio stations and stores just can’t wait to get you in the Christmas spirit. At First Baptist, you can sing your favorite Christmas carols, hear beautiful special music from our church family, and anticipate the weekly lighting of the Advent wreath as we countdown to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Your family will want to stay for delicious cookies, coffee, and cocoa after each service too!

 

The four weeks leading up to Christmas have been celebrated throughout the church age as the “Advent” or coming. Each Sunday we will light one of the four candles on the Advent wreath and share God’s message of hope, peace, joy and love through His Word, the Bible. The Old Testament tells of the coming Messiah – the one who would save the world. The New Testament shares the Good News – the Gospel of the arrival of Jesus Christ the Son of God, born in Bethlehem so many years ago.

 

Children are always welcome in our services, but there is a nursery for infants through four years old provided for all services and Kid’s Church for kindergarten through fourth grade.

We also have Christmas activity books for children to help them enjoy and better understand what this holiday is really all about.

Interactive and age-appropriate Sunday School classes (K-12 Grade) and adult Bible classes meet at 11 am each Sunday after our coffee & cookie time.
