FAQ

It's my first time visiting. Where should I go?

Make sure to pull in using our Main Entrance, on 1400 W. Washington Center Rd, follow the drive until you reach our marked “Visitor Parking” on your right, before you reach the canopy in the center of the lot.

Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome from our team, who will help guide you into the right place for either Breakfast at Bethlehem or our Christmas Eve service.

Will there be something for my kids?

Christmas at First is designed for families to make lifelong memories together! No typical First Littles or First Kids programs will be happening at these events, as we will all be together in the Sanctuary.

During our Candlelight Christmas Eve service, there will be activity sheets and crayons available at the tables in the breezeways and littles-friendly electric candles so that everyone can participate at their level of understanding!

How long is Breakfast in Bethlehem?

We will begin the event with a time to enjoy a free continental breakfast in our Gym. Then, we will dismiss everyone into the Sanctuary for the production. The production itself is 20 minutes long and will be followed with a very brief message from our Lead Pastor, Rob Haslett.

How long is your Christmas Eve service?

This service is just one-hour long and is filled with Christmas carols, a short Christmas message from our Lead Pastor and our traditional candlelighting as we sing “Silent Night.”
