3 ways to celebrate Christmas with Wichita

#1 MAKING ROOM | Christmas Sermon Series

We live in a world that feels packed to the edges —where every opinion is political, every misstep is public, and every moment is crowded by noise. Relationships fracture. Our souls feel compressed. It doesn’t feel like there’s room to breathe.

The story of the first Christmas begins with room. Into a world that had no space left, God made room for us. This Christmas, discover how to make room again: for hope over fear, presence over performance, peace over pressure, and for the Christ-child who still brings life where it feels like there’s none to spare.

Beginning November 30 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 on Wednesday, 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. 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 10, 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.
