Christmas Christmas

Monday, December 23

7 pm

Tuesday, December 24

3 & 5 pm

The birth of Jesus Christ was a moment in time that changed the course of history. Each year, we step into the familiar Christmas story through the perspectives of those who lived it – Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi. Nativity scenes remind us of how these ordinary people experienced an extraordinary moment in God’s plan.

Although Christmas is the time we celebrate the incarnation of God through a baby boy, we often forget the cosmic reality of Jesus’ birth. While the world may have experienced a “silent night,” the heavenly realm was anything but calm. Join us this Christmas as we explore the arrival of a Savior through, not just a human perspective, but a heavenly one. We have three Christmas Eve service times: Monday, December 23 at 7 pm and Tuesday, December 24 at 3 and 5 pm.

Attending service at Bedford Alliance means you can expect:

  • A service that lasts about 65 minutes
  • Live, dynamic worship that is theologically sound
  • A message rooted in God's Word

We understand that trying a church for the first time can be overwhelming. At BAC, our First Impressions team will greet you at the door and can help you find anything you need. The host at our Next Steps desk located by our Coffee House will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our church. Learn more about what to expect at Bedford Alliance.
