This Christmas Eve, you’re invited to a magical celebration with two distinct and beautiful opportunities to celebrate—4:30 p.m. at The Barn of Chapel Hill for a family-friendly multigenerational celebration with special moments just for kids and families, and 7:30 p.m. at our Evergreen Campus for cozy candlelight vibes!

Everyone belongs.

Whether church is your thing, used to be your thing, or has never been your thing, you belong at The Local Church. That means that when you step inside, you can expect warmth, affirmation, and belovedness. No bait-and-switch. No asterisks. Just love.

Cookies. Cocoa. And so much more.

Warm up this Christmas Eve with a hot cocoa bar overflowing with all the fixings and more homemade cookies than you can count! Come for the treats, stay for the joy, and experience the wonder of the season with us. Bring your friends and family—it won’t be the same without you!
