In preparation for Christmas, you’re invited to join your church family for a four-week Advent study exploring the question: “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
Using Erin Wathen’s Calling All Angels: An Advent Study of Fearlessness and Strength, we’ll journey together toward a season of courage, hope, and holy anticipation.
Books are available through Amazon, Cokesbury, or John Knox Press.
Multiple groups are meeting throughout Advent — find one that fits your schedule and join the conversation!
Celebrate the season with us as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. From reflective moments of comfort to candlelit worship on Christmas Eve, there’s a place for everyone to experience the hope and wonder of Advent.
More details on each service are available below.

This season invites us to slow down, reflect, and open our hearts to the light of Christ. Whether you come seeking comfort, celebration, or a quiet moment of peace, you’ll find a place here. From our Hope for the Holidays service to the beauty of Christmas Eve candlelight, each gathering offers space to experience the wonder and love of Christmas in community.
The holiday season can stir many emotions — joy and gratitude, but also grief, stress, or longing. Hope for the Holidays is a gentle, reflective service for anyone who finds this time of year difficult or complicated.
Through quiet music, prayer, and words of comfort, we’ll create space to pause, remember, and hold onto hope together. Whether you’re navigating loss, change, or simply need a calm moment in a busy season, you are welcome here.
Experience the wonder of Christmas Eve as we gather by candlelight to celebrate the birth of Jesus — a night filled with peace, joy, and holy awe. Each service offers a unique way to worship and welcome the light of Christ into our world.
