CHRISTMAS AT CHURCH AT THE MILL
You can be a part of Christmas in many ways at Church at The Mill. Each Sunday in December, we will celebrate the birth of Jesus and the extraordinary truth that He is With Us!
Join us this Christmas season as we explore the extraordinary story of God With Us. God, in His infinite love, chose to draw near to humanity and dwell among us in the person of Jesus Christ. As we journey through the truths of John chapter one, we'll come face to face with the Lamb of God, full of grace and truth. We will be challenged to surrender our lives to God, embrace His grace, and experience the fullness of His presence. The greatest gift of all is the Word made flesh in a humble manger. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the hope, peace, joy, and love of being in His presence this Advent season—together, let’s celebrate the God who is truly With Us!
There are several opportunities for your entire family to experience God With Us and engage in Christmas-themed activities together. Below, you will find information about our Christmas Celebration Worship Experience, Christmas Eve candlelight services, Advent devotions, and Bible reading plan.
ALL CAMPUS CHRISTMAS WORSHIP SERVICES
We are excited for all of our campuses and congregations to come together as one church family at Central Campus to kick off the Christmas season! Join us for With Us, a Christmas worship service to posture our hearts toward Jesus. As we reflect on the truth that God chose to dwell among us, we’ll be invited to surrender our lives to Him, embrace His grace, and experience the fullness of His presence.
Morning services will be on normal Sunday morning schedules at each campus. In the afternoon, we'll come together at Central Campus for a special Christmas worship experience at 3, 5, and 7 PM. Kids' programming will be provided for K4 and younger. All-Access (special needs) programming is available with RSVP at all three services at Central Campus.

What is Advent and what we are doing to celebrate it?
Advent is from the Latin word "adventus", meaning "coming" or "arrival." Advent is a season of anticipation when Christ-followers prepare their hearts to celebrate the coming of Jesus. Advent is observed over the period of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas, beginning the Sunday December 1, and including special observances on Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day.
Join us in pausing and reflecting on Christ this Advent season by using our With Us Advent devotional plan. Our devotional plan will include weekly scripture, a devotion, conversation starters, and family activities for all ages. There is one devotion for each week, beginning on Sunday, December 1 and concluding on Christmas Eve. Our With Us Bible reading plan includes five days of scripture reading for each week beginning on November 25 and ending on December 27.
