Christmas Eve at New Heights

Thursday, December 24 · 2:00, 3:30, and 5:00 PM · 1705 S. Walton Blvd. #1, Bentonville

You're Invited

Come celebrate the birth of Jesus with candlelight, Christmas carols, and a short message. Each service lasts about an hour. Bring your family, bring a friend, and come as you are. You don't need to register. Just come.

Pick a time.

Every service is the same, so choose the one that fits your family's day. The 3:30 service fills up first, so choose 2:00 or 5:00 for easier parking and more open seats.

First time at church in a while?

You're who we planned this for. Many of the people sitting next to you will be first-time guests too. You won't be singled out, and no one will ask you to stand up or say anything. Come sing, listen, and take in the story of Christmas.

Bring the kids.

Christmas Eve is a family service. Kids of every age worship with their parents, so there's no check-in and no drop-off. Every kid gets a glow stick for the candlelight moment.

Everything you need to know

You'll see jeans, sweaters, and Christmas best. All of it fits.

Guest and accessible parking is out front facing Walton Blvd., with a large lot behind the building. Come in through the front doors, and someone will help you find a seat. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early for the best choice of seats. The front entrance is step-free, the auditorium has wheelchair seating, and there's a nursing room and changing table for families with little ones.

Every service ends with candlelight and "Silent Night." Kids get glow sticks so the whole family can join in.

Can't make it in person? Watch the 3:30 PM service live online, wherever you are, at newheightscc.com/online.

Invite someone

Most people come to church for the first time because a friend asked. Who do you know who would come if you invited them? Share this page, send a text, or offer to save them a seat. To save the invite on your phone, open it, then press and hold the image.

Why Christmas matters

Christmas is the story of God coming near. Jesus was born to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserved, so that everyone who trusts Him can be forgiven and know God. If you have questions about faith, you're welcome here.
