Advent Season
Advent means "arrival" and signifies the start of an event or the arrival of a person. In Christian communities around the world, Advent refers to a four-week season of remembering and celebrating the arrival of Jesus on Earth. It’s a time to reflect on the unexpected nature of Jesus’ humble birth. We invite you to join in our special Advent events/services!

Christmas Cantata
Sunday, December 14th | 11:00am | Sanctuary
Also 8:30am variation in Whisner
Our Chancel Choir, Orchestra, and Kids Worship Arts Group will present the Christmas Cantata, “Tellin' the Good News!" We hope you'll join us for this musical service!
From the prophecy of the Savior’s coming to the joyous celebration of His birth, Tellin’ the Good News! takes us on a spirited journey through the story of Christmas.
Filled with soulful gospel energy, heartfelt worship, and inspiring spirituals like “Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child,” “Mary Sat a Rockin’,” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” this cantata reminds us that the message of Jesus’ birth is not just for one night in Bethlehem—it’s good news for the whole world!
