Our annual Children’s Christmas Pageant is a cherished tradition. Our kids bring the Christmas story to life right before our eyes!

As stable animals, angels, shepherds and magi, our kids will guide the congregation through the story of Jesus’ birth with music, scripture, and joy. Whether your child wants a speaking role, a non-speaking role in costume, or to just sing along with the crowd, there is a perfect spot on the stage for everyone.

The Pageant Schedule

We keep our rehearsals simple and part of our normal Sunday routines:

• Every Sunday Morning (Nov 8 – Dec 6) at 10:00 AM: We know the holiday season gets packed and families travel! If you have to miss a Sunday or two for out-of-town trips, your child can still absolutely be part of the pageant.

• Saturday, December 5 (Time TBD): Dress rehearsal with costumes.

• Sunday, December 6 at 10:30 AM: The Christmas Pageant takes over morning worship!

Information for Parents & Caregivers

• Who Can Participate: All children and youth are welcome! We have roles tailored for every comfort level—from energetic speaking parts to low-pressure costume roles for our youngest participants. Youth are invited to serve as assistant Stage Managers & Directors.
