What to expect?

What exactly is a Candlelight Service?
Our Candlelight Service is a beautiful and inspiring way to celebrate the hope of the Christmas season. It is a one-hour service that includes familiar Christmas carols, modern worship music, an encouraging message, and concludes with our special tradition of lighting candles together. It is a moving, joyful, and reflective experience suitable for all ages.
How long is the service?
All five of our services are one hour long. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early to find your seats and enjoy our photo opportunity—a perfect chance to capture memories with your family!
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
There is no dress code! Most people attending our Candlelight Services wear casual or business casual attire. We want you to be comfortable, so feel free to come as you are.
Is this service appropriate for my kids?
We encourage families to experience the service together! Childcare for ages 6 weeks to 3 years old will be available at Pines Kids for the duration of the service, while all other children are welcome in the main auditorium.
Be sure to indicate whether you need childcare when you register—this helps us better prepare for your little ones.
Is there a cost to attend?
Attending our Candlelight Service is completely free, and your registration is free. As our guest, there is absolutely no expectation for you to give. We welcome you to simply come and enjoy the celebration with us.
