This year at The Crossing, we’re excited to share that two powerful worship services are available on Christmas Eve.
In the auditorium, you can expect a familiar Crossing Christmas feel — with onstage worship music, a meaningful message, and candle lighting. We will transform our gym into a unique Christmas experience with live worship and a message, Christmas songs, and, of course, candle lighting! Wherever you go, you’ll encounter God.
Join us this Christmas in the auditorium or the gym for one of our four service times on December 24 — 12:30, 2:00, 3:30, or 5:00 p.m.
Crossing Kids will be available for Infants - Preschool. Service activity bags will be available for kids attending the worship service in the auditorium.
We will livestream each of the four Christmas Eve services on our website!
Nearly 200,000 colorful lights (that's 38 miles worth!) illuminate The Crossing's 85-foot sycamore tree, reminding us that all 200,000 members of Boone county matter to God.
Stop by to admire The Magic Tree and take photos anytime!
