The word Advent is derived from the Latin word adventus, meaning ‘coming.’ In the church calendar, Advent is a season in which the church expectantly waits and prepares to celebrate the nativity of Jesus Christ; the Son of God coming to earth to redeem mankind. The season encompasses the four Sundays before Christmas–so this year it begins Sunday November 30th.
At Christ’s Church this means music of the season–many Christmas hymns as well as newer Christmas choruses. Each week brings us through the advent themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, providing members of our congregation the opportunity to participate in lighting an advent candle and reflecting on the theme of the week. This year’s advent study with Dr. Dale Kuehne will be based out of the book of Isaiah, focusing on the prophecies about the Messiah and their fulfillment in Jesus.
Our Advent Season culminates in our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve Service. Service details can be found here.
We hope you will join us in preparing our hearts and celebrating the birth of our Savior this Advent Season!

We are kicking off a fall small group with a discussion of the book, God & the Gay Christian by Matthew Vines. We decided to study this book (and other papers of opposing views of Scripture) because the issue of homosexuality & same sex marriage is a huge issue which is bombarding the church of the 21st century. It is important that we understand Scripture as clearly as possible, as well as formulate a response that is both loving and educated. This book is thoughtfully written…
This fall Dr. Dale Kuehne is leading us through a sermon series in the Book of Acts. This is not just about learning church history, its about recognizing that we are part of the same story, the same mission…should we choose to accept it. Though much has changed in two-thousand years, much remains the same. We are still called to be witnesses for Jesus, the church is still persecuted throughout the world, we still have sin issues and relational problems that…
