Discover the Gifts at Asbury Church
As we prepare for the upcoming holiday season, many of us will be making plans to get back home or to receive those who are coming home. In our journey of faith, Jesus calls us to find our way home and to ready ourselves to come home for Christmas. This involves responding to God’s love by sharing it with others. Come and see what we can do to find our way in this season and beyond.

6612 Creedmoor Road - We are in the heart of North Raleigh, just north of the intersection of Creedmoor Road and Lynn Road and just south of the Stonehenge Shopping Center.
We have plenty of parking for each service - no special directions or places needed! Our campus does have a "one way" traffic flow to help keep pedestrians safe. Note that the main entrances to our buildings are from the center of campus.
Kids are welcomed at any and all of our Christmas Eve Services - but our 4pm worship is led by our amazing Kids Ministry Staff and is designed with families in mind!
Every service features music, prayer, a sermon, communion, and candlelight. Outdoor worship is led by our Worship leader on guitar, Contemporary Worship has a full worship band, and traditional worship features piano, choir, and liturgy. Most services last around 60 minutes.
Whatever you are comfortable in! All of our services will have everything from shorts to suits depending on the person and the weather. For outdoor worship, everyone dresses as the weather requires (bringing blankets or fans as needed).
We would LOVE for you to introduce yourself to our staff or our welcome team - but you never have an obligation to do so! We are here for you whenever you need it - but we won't put you on the spot!
