Advent
Most basically, “advent” means arrival. In the Christian celebration of Advent, we remember the arrival of Christ—heaven breaking into earth. Advent holds special significance because it reminds us that God didn’t wait for us to work our way up to him (as if we could’ve). Rather, in Christ, God came down to us. In Christ, the Most High came low, the immortal took on mortality, the omnipotent became weak, the unbounded was wrapped in flesh. In short, God became man. And all for the divine purpose of pouring out his endless love and saving grace on sinners like us.
We hope you'll celebrate Advent with us, that the gospel of God's grace in Christ might reignite wonder and delight in your soul this Christmas season.
Advent Sundays | 2025
This Advent we'll be focusing on the second coming of Christ. Traditionally Advent is about both celebrating Christ's first coming and anticipating his second coming, and while normally churches focus on the first coming for Advent, this year we're going to break the mold and focus on the latter. The four texts/themes for Advent (with normal service times of 8:30 and 10:45) will be:
- Nov 30: Revelation 19:6-10 (Joy with Him)
- Dec 7: Revelation 19:11-21 (Judgment by Him)
- Dec 14: Revelation 21:1-5 (Relief from Him)
- Dec 21: Revelation 22:1-5 (Looking at Him)

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service | Wednesday, December 24 | 4:30 p.m.
Two thousand years ago, a band of shepherds was greeted by an angel who lit up the night sky and brought tidings of good news of great joy that would be for all the people. Come celebrate with us this same good news of great joy of a Savior born for us—Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
