Designed for all ages, this interactive Christmas Eve experience invites families to worship side-by-side and celebrate the birth of Jesus together. Through engaging music, storytelling, and meaningful moments for children and adults alike, you'll create lasting memories and traditions centered on the hope and joy of Christmas.
Experience the beauty of Christmas through a blend of traditional and contemporary worship. Designed for the whole church family, this service features beloved carols, a full orchestra and choir, an inspiring Christmas message, and our cherished candlelighting tradition as we celebrate the hope, joy, and light of Christ together.
Worship will include live music and teaching. You may hear familiar Christmas hymns mixed with newer worship songs expressed through congregational singing, piano, guitar and vocalists. All are invited to share in this beautiful celebration of Christmas.
Northville: Childcare is provided for ages 4 and under in the Nursery.
Come dressed comfortably. Around Christmas time, you may see more suits and dresses than a Sunday at a different time of year. But still, some wear jeans and tennis shoes. We are more concerned that you come as you are rather than if you look your “Sunday Best.”
Northville: Ward Church is a barrier-free facility, compliant with state and local codes for accessibility. We provide shuttle services at Entry 5 for those who need assistance getting to our Sanctuary. Just pull up into a parking space directly outside of Entry 5 and a shuttle will be standing by. We will pull around and help you on to the shuttle. When leaving, stand outside the Sanctuary and a shuttle service will be by to help pick you up and take you directly to your vehicle.
All other guests are free to park anywhere. Entry 6 provides closest access to the Sanctuary. Please note, the Nursery is on the opposite end of the facility, so those wishing to utilize childcare may wish to use our main entrance, Entry 1.
No other groups or classes will be meeting on this day.
This Advent, you're invited to walk alongside the people of Christmas and discover that God meets us in our weariness just as He met them. As we explore their stories, we'll find a safe place to lay down our burdens, breathe deeply in God's presence, and remember the good news of Christmas: Christ has come, hope is here, and joy is possible even in the midst of life's challenges.

For the final Sunday of 2026, we're inviting our church family to embrace a different rhythm. We encourage you to worship from home and create an intentional moment with those you love. To help make that experience meaningful, we've prepared Worship at Home Kits that will guide you through a time of reflection, Scripture, prayer, and worship. Be sure to pick one up in the Connection Center before the weekend.
For those who prefer to gather in person, we'll offer a simple worship service in the Chapel. This intimate service will require minimal staffing and just a few volunteers, allowing us to honor both our commitment to worship on Sunday and the gift of rest for our serving teams. The Chapel service will be intentionally simple, featuring worship, prayer, Scripture, and a message without the production elements of a typical Sunday morning. Seating is limited to 200 guests.
