FXP: Christmas Party (Kids, Students, Young Adults)
Family eXPerience: Christmas Party
Wed, Dec, 17, 6-8p
This December, our entire Next Gen family—Kids, 180 Students, and Pillar Young Adults—is coming together for something we’ve never done before: one big, family-centered FXP Christmas Party!
We know the Christmas season is full of activity, celebration, and opportunities to make memories. This year, we want to create a space where families can slow down, enjoy time together, and be reminded of the hope we have in Christ. And we want to do that together—as one church family, across every age and stage.
We’ll Start the Night Together
At 6:00p, everyone will gather in the Worship Center for a short time of worship led by 180 and Pillar. After singing together, we’ll hear a brief Christmas “sermonette” reminding us why the birth of Jesus truly is good news of great joy for all people.
This shared moment sets the tone for the rest of the evening—families united, celebrating Christ together.
Then the Christmas Fun Begins!
After worship, families will spread out across the building for a mix of activities planned by our Kids, Students, and Young Adult teams. There’s something for every age, including:

Wear Your Ugly Sweater & Bring the Family
Kids, teens, college students, parents, grandparents—everyone is invited. Wear your best (or worst!) ugly Christmas sweater and come ready for a relaxed, joyful evening together.
This event brings together three ministries that typically function separately—Kids, 180, and Pillar—and creates a night where the whole family experiences something meaningful together. It’s a simple way to strengthen relationships, build community across generations, and celebrate the birth of Jesus with the people you love.
