Christmas at The River . Marion Campus

Thursday, December 21st at 6:00pm
Saturday, December 23rd at 4:30pm
Sunday, December 24th at 9:00am, 11:00am, and 6:00pm

This year we will be asking that you grab tickets for the service you will be attending, and then present them when you get to The River Church that day for Christmas at The River.

Christmas at The River is a very special time of year in celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and bringing the message of Jesus to our community. This year we need your help to invite as many people to one of these special services, all of which are the same, and then serve at one of the times above whether it be greeting people, directing traffic, holding babies in the nursery, or teaching students in The Bridge... there is a way you can show the love of Jesus Christ to those that will visit The River this holiday season.

River Kids Christmas

Children from babies through 5th grade are strongly encouraged to attend a special River Kids Christmas at each of the service times above. Ultimately we want to see every child love and follow Jesus with all their heart, and we believe our River Kids Ministry, through hours of preparation every week, provides the best experience and guidance to reach that relationship with our Savior. While spending time as a family in worship is important, our Sunday and Christmas at The River services for adults are geared specifically for just that... adults. So we hope that your child will join River Kids each Sunday and at our Christmas at The River services this year.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've never been to Christmas at The River? What should I expect?

We hope you can make yourself at home when you enter our building with a fresh cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Services last around 90 minutes and include incredible music, and inspiring Christmas message, and candle lighting.

Are the services different?

No. All of our Christmas at The River services are identical to each other and all include Christmas in River Kids programming. To reserve tickets, please click the orange “ticket” button on the right side of the registration page in Eventbrite.

Who needs a ticket?

Any adult or teenager (6th grade or above) who will be worshipping in the main service needs a ticket. Please only reserve seats for those who have confirmed they will be attending. To reserve tickets, please click the orange “ticket” button in Eventbrite.

Is there anything for my kids?

Yes! All kids ages birth through fifth grade will celebrate Christmas in River Kids. Our services for our kids are age-appropriate, exciting, fun, and a party to celebrate the best Christmas gift ever: Jesus! You can add-on their tickets when you reserve your own with the orange “ticket” button in Eventbrite.

Are my kids allowed with me in the main service?

We strongly encourage all kids ages birth through 5th grade to be a part of our River Kids Christmas services happening at the exact same time, rather than sit in the main service with you. We want them to hear about the true meaning of Christmas in the most age-appropriate, engaging, and fun way!

My preferred service if full. What do I do now?

If reservations for your preferred service are no longer available, we encourage you to choose a service at a different time.

Is there a waiting list I can join for my preferred service if it is full?

Unfortunately, no. Please select another open service. Once all services have reached maximum capacity a waiting list will open. However, you will not be able to select a preferred service on the waiting list.

What if I need to change my service time or if I need to change the amount of people I have coming?

You can edit your reservation by clicking the link provided in your confirmation email.

I don't see where to reserve. Where is the orange ticket button?

In the Eventbrite registration portal, if reserving tickets on your mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the page. If reserving on a laptop or desktop, it is on the right side of the page.
