Better Than Christmas
An Advent and Christmas sermon series | November 29 – December 24
Christmas can be wonderful. It can also be hard. Some years it’s full of family, music, and joy. Other years it’s lonely, stressful, or marked by an empty chair at the table. But whether your Christmas is good or bad, Jesus is better.
Join us as we walk through the Christmas story in Luke and discover a love, a joy, and a hope that no December can give and no December can take away.

What are your service times and are they all the same?
The service times for each campus are listed below. For both campuses, the Christmas Eve, Eve service on December 23rd will be the same service that is held on December 24th - Christmas Eve.
For St. Peter, all the sermon messages will be the same during the December 23rd and December 24th services and the traditional services will all be the same as will all the contemporary services. The Christmas Day service on December 25th will be its own unique worship service.
At The CORE, all the services between December 23rd and December 24th will be the same, so come to whichever time works best for you and your family!

How long does a service last?
Each worship service will last about 60-70 minutes.
Can I watch services online if I can’t attend in person?
Absolutely! If, for any reason, you can’t make our in-person service, you can always watch it live or after the scheduled service on our YouTube channel.
The scheduled livestream times are:
- The CORE - December 24th at 11 AM (Contemporary)
- St. Peter - December 24th at 2 PM (Traditional)
- St. Peter - December 24th at 4 PM (Contemporary)
Where do I park?
Both of our campuses have parking lots available. At St. Peter, the lot extends back by the school and if The CORE’s parking lot happens to be full upon arrival, feel free to park on one of the side streets (Locust, Washington, and Bennett Streets), or we also have permission to use the Schmitt Title Company and the back Walgreens parking lots, adjacent to our building.
What should I wear?
All are welcome! Come exactly as you are - don’t dress up or down for anyone.
Is the church accessible for individuals with disabilities?
Yes, both of our campuses are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities. We have a zero-step entry, making it fully accessible to wheelchair users and individuals with other mobility needs, designated accessible parking spaces, and wide interior walkways. The building also includes accessible restrooms and elevators for ease of movement.
Will childcare or children’s programming be available during the services?
We’re excited to offer CORE Kids and SPL Kids at select Christmas services this year! CORE Kids will be available at The CORE on December 23rd at 5:30 PM and December 24th at 11:00 AM, and SPL Kids will be available at St. Peter on December 24th during the 10:00 AM service.
At our other Christmas services, childcare and kids’ ministry won’t be available. Christmas is a wonderful time for families to worship together, and we encourage you to do so! We have many families with young children in attendance, so it’s not uncommon to hear the sounds of little ones during the service. :)
If needed, both of our campuses also have soundproof rooms off the main worship area for young families. In this space, adults can still hear and participate in the service while the kids have a little more freedom to move around.
Will there be communion?
No, we will not serving communion during our Christmas services.
Will an offering be collected?
We will remind our members of ways to give whether it is online or dropping their offering in the boxes at the back of church, but we will not have a “pass the plate” type offering. Additionally, as a visitor, we are so glad that you joined us and don’t want you to feel obligated to give.
What is the difference between a traditional and contemporary service?
At our St. Peter campus, you will find a mix of traditional and contemporary-style worship, but what does that mean? The sermon messages will be the same for both types of services, but the difference primarily comes down to the music. The traditional service will have hymns sung and played on a piano and includes more scripture readings. Our contemporary services have a worship team up front and they feature modern styles of music and innovative use of technology.
