What To Expect

Inspiring Music

You’ll hear a mix of classic carols and contemporary Christmas music. It’s okay if you don’t know all the songs. It took us a while to learn them too. We’ll be singing a mix of traditional and new Christmas songs that will help your family enter into the spirit of the season.

Practical Message

In each service, you’ll hear a practical message from the Bible that you can apply to your life. Pastor Drew will be preaching on the hope that Jesus gives us, even when the world around us seems dark.

Kids and Families

We love kids at New Life! We think one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas is as a whole family. That’s why we keep families together in the service. We will have craft bags and activities to keep the little ones occupied during the service, and our nursery and quiet room are available for families who need more room to spread out.

Common Questions

Feel free to wear whatever is most comfortable for you. Some people will have their “Christmas best” on, but there’s no pressure to dress up. Come as you are. We can’t wait to meet you.
*However, there will be multiple photo ops set up in our atrium available for you and your loved ones to snap a few photos!

Each service will be a little over an hour long. But it won’t feel like an hour. We’ve got some great things planned and you’re going to wonder where the time went.

We love kids, and we think one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas is as a whole family. That’s why we keep families together in the service. We will have craft bags and activities to keep the little ones occupied at both services, and our family room will be available for nursing mothers.

Candlelight Worship

We’ll worship with Carols and Communion at both services and end each service with Candlelight. This will be one of the highlights of your Christmas season.

We don't judge.

We don't care if you have tattoos

We don't care how you dress

We don't care if you have a past

We just want to meet you :)
