Try to arrive early!

It’s Christmas Eve, so make plans to arrive with plenty of time to park, get inside, check in kids if needed, grab some coffee, and find your seat.

Additional parking will be available.

We expect parking to be at a premium! If you’re a guest, please utilize the main church lots. Regular attenders and members, consider dropping off your family and parking at the plaza to the east, Advanced Plating or Veridian to the west, or utilizing street parking.

Our ushers will be seating you.

To help with fitting as many people into our services as possible, our ushers will be seating you as you enter the Worship Center.

The livestream venue will be available if and when the Worship Center reaches capacity.

We expect the 3pm and and 4:30pm services to be the most full. If you have flexibility in your schedule that day, consider attending the 6pm service to free up space in the other services.

The 3pm service will have an ASL interpreter.

We have a vibrant Deaf community at FFC! They will be attending the 3pm service and will be seated in the front of middle left section.

Invite someone!

It’s not too late to extend an invitation to someone who needs Jesus and may be more open to an invite during the Christmas season. If you need more invites, just stop by the church office!
