If you’re anything like us, your calendar is already packed with end-of-year deadlines, school functions, and the endless "must-do" list that comes with Christmas. You want to give your kids that magical, memory-making holiday you dream of, but the thought of adding one more complicated thing to your plate just makes you want to hide under the nearest cozy blanket. Sound familiar?
That’s why this year at Great Commission Church, we’ve made Christmas easy. We’re calling it “A December to Remember,” and the whole idea is to give you and your family a “turn-key” Christmas—meaning we’ve planned the fun, the faith, and the festive moments so you can just show up, connect, and make memories without the stress.
Think of it as the simple, beautiful Christmas you crave, delivered with a cozy, non-judgmental community vibe.
Here’s a sneak peek at how we’re making this December your easiest and most meaningful one yet:
Easy Wins for Family Memories & Faith Foundation
We know you want to instill those Christian values in your little ones. We’ve designed our Sunday services and mid-week events to be the simplest way to build that foundation—with treats and crafts!
-
Make & Take Keepsakes (Nov 30th & Dec 7th): Stop by on a Sunday morning to decorate a Kids Ornament right at church, and be sure to pick up your Family Advent Calendar—it’s filled with simple, fun family activities you can do at home. A week later, we’re having a Christmas Cookie Decorating station. Edible art and zero mess for you to clean up!
-
The Ultimate Family Night (Dec 3rd): Grab your tickets for our Family Gingerbread Bash! We provide the houses, the icing, and the candy. You bring the family and the creativity. This is the perfect quick, fun activity to mark off your holiday list.
-
Snap & Sip Sundays (Dec 21st, AM): Come for the service and stay for the sugar! Enjoy a cozy Hot Cocoa & Cookie Bar before or after the service, and be sure to hit our special Christmas Photo Ops stations. They are set up for you to get that perfect, frame-worthy family photo for your holiday cards or social media. Easy, beautiful, done.
A Little Connection (and a Break) Just For Mom
-
Women’s Time & Craft (Dec 13th): Join us for a relaxing Women’s Breakfast where you can enjoy a nice meal and build community while making a special Christmas centerpiece or ornament. A little time to recharge and connect with other women who get it.
-
Service with a Purpose (Dec 4th): If you've been looking for a simple way to serve and make an impact, sign up to help host our special Gingerbread Bash for the Women of the Warriors Center. It's a quick opportunity to share joy with others and remember that your purpose extends beyond your busy routine.
The Easiest Sunday Morning of the Year
This is the definition of turn-key! On Sunday, Dec 21st (AM), while you enjoy your hot cocoa and a moment of peace, your kids will be diving into a special, fun-filled program just for them.
“This Christmas, give your kids the best gift: a fun, faith-filled experience that practically runs itself. Drop them off for special games and treats while they learn about their real-life superhero: Jesus, the Great Rescuer—the promised Messiah who came to save us. It's an easy win for you, and a foundation of faith for them.”
And wrap up the day by bringing the whole family back for our Christmas Concert for a fun afternoon of singing along.
Great Commission Church is a family, and we want you to feel right at home. We’ve taken the stress out of the holiday so you can focus on the joy. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
