Christmas Eve at Grace

Three services in Noblesville: Wednesday, December 23 at 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, December 24 at 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.

Sometimes Christmas season gets so full that it's easy to miss the wonder of Christmas itself! Take time to slow down with the people you love: sing familiar Christmas carols, see the glow of candlelight, and hear the story of Jesus' birth and the hope it still brings today. Whether Christmas Eve at church is a longtime tradition or something new for you, we'd love to celebrate with you.

What's Christmas Eve at Grace Like?

It's an hour to celebrate Christmas together! You'll sing familiar Christmas carols with the lyrics on the screens, hear the story of Jesus' birth, and share a candlelight moment that's been part of Grace's tradition for over 30 years.

Most people wear casual attire. Some dress up for family photos. Both fit right in.

No one will single you out or ask you to stand as a guest. Giving is optional and guests are never expected to give.

What Should I Do When I Arrive?

Plan to arrive 20 minutes early. That gives you time to park, grab a café drink at The Leaf Café, and find your seats.

  1. 1
    Park! Follow the signs to visitor parking once you enter our parking lot.
  2. 2
    Walk in! There are multiple entrances to Grace Church. Door 1 on the south part of our building is located closest to Guest Services.
  3. 3
    Stop at Guest Services in the lobby. We'd love to say hi and give you a gift!
  4. 4
    Check in little ones. If you've got children ages 0–5, you can pre-register them for Grace Kids to make the process smoother for you when you arrive! Children older than 5 will sit with you in service.
  5. 5
    Find a seat in the auditorium, where worship service happens!

What About My Kids?

Kids rooms for babies through preschool are open during every Christmas Eve service. Kids in kindergarten and up worship with their families in the auditorium, so the whole family shares Christmas Eve together.

When you check in, your child gets a name tag with a 3-digit number, and you get a sticker with the same number. You'll use it to pick your child up after the service. An adult drops off and picks up every child.

Grace Kids rooms are peanut-free. If your child has an allergy, add it when you let us know you're coming and it prints on their name tag.

Accessibility and Language

  • Spanish Interpretation at every service. Pick up a headset at the Interpretation Desk in the lobby.
  • ASL Interpretation at the Thursday, December 24, 6:00 p.m. service.
  • Sensory Room and Resources at every service. The sensory room is a quieter space you can step into any time. It is unstaffed, so a parent or caregiver stays with their child.
  • Accessible Parking and Entrances at every entrance to Grace.

Can I Watch Online?

Yes. All three services stream live at the times above. Watch from the couch, from Grandma's house, or from anywhere you're spending Christmas
