3 ways to celebrate Christmas with Wichita
#1 CHRISTMAS IN REVELATION | Christmas Sermon Series
Christmas is filled with longing–some of it wonderful, some of it painful. Longing for closeness. Longing for better finances. Longing for home. We often look to Christmas for a sign that the threats we face and the battles we are up against won’t overwhelm the hope we want. In this hope-filled, helpful series from the book of Revelation, you’ll discover what to do with those longings and how they find their fulfilment in the God Christmas reveals.
Here’s the roadmap for the series.
- 12/1 | The Sign You’re Looking For
- 12/8 | The Threat You Fear
- 12/15 | The Son You Need
- 12/22 | The Battle You Face
- 12/24 | The Hope You Want
On Sundays beginning December 1 at 11:00AM through Christmas Day, our Arts Team and Lead Pastor have created a Christmas message series to help you find peace through the good news of Jesus Christ.
Each week there’s great music—including Christmas songs you know and some new songs that will lift you–and a helpful, timely message from the Bible exploring the first Christmas. We’d love for you to be our guest in person or streaming online. You can plan your visit here.
In person: 1400 E Kellogg Dr. Wichita, KS 67211

#2 CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT | A Christmas Eve Tradition
We are hosting a Christmas Eve experience for the whole family in-person or online on Tuesday, December 24th at 4:00PM.
In about 45 minutes, we’ll sing familiar Christmas carols, hear the Christmas Story, a short, moving message from our Lead Pastor, and end singing carols by candlelight. It’s a favorite every year.
Kids are welcome in the service and the nursery (ages 0-3) will be open to families, but will not be staffed, with a live feed of the service. There will be Christmas treats in the lobby before and after the service, and a picture spot to take a great Christmas photo with whoever is in your tribe.
#3 BLUE CHRISTMAS SERVICE | Wednesday, December 11, 6:30PM
A loss of a loved one, job-loss, a relationship that breaks down, or a challenging time in life can make Christmas a time of grief instead of joy.
Blue Christmas is a service of remembrance that gives you space to express that grief. Our Lead Pastor–who lost his mom in his teen years–will give a short talk on the reality of grief and the journey to hope, you’ll hear a few stories from people working through their grief, you’ll hear a song of hope, and you’ll have the opportunity (if you’d like) to name the person or situation you are grieving this Christmas.
It’s a service where you aren’t required to be okay.
In our Chapel. 1400 E Kellogg Dr, enter from Lulu on the West side of the building.
