Christmas can be stressful.

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 offer 5 Christmas Eve Services -
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 welcome at any and all of our Christmas Eve Services - We will have our regular Kid's Ministry Sunday School at 9:30 for ages 0-5th grade and then childcare at the 11:00 am, 3:00 pm & 6:00 pm services for ages 0-4.
Christmas Eve this year falls on the 4th Sunday of Advent so we will have our regular worship services at 9:30 am for contemporary worship and 11:00 am for our traditional service. The Candlelight services will feature music, prayer, a sermon, communion, and candlelight. 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!

2. Give to Christmas Is Not Your Birthday
Each year, we challenge families to be generous. The total spent on gifts under the tree? What if every family also gave that same amount to the cause of partnering with students and ending hunger locally and globally? We've done it since 2012 and have regularly raised above our goal. Join us this year in the cause!

Life is better in a Group! Asbury is all about helping people to engage in relationships where Christ transforms. There are two great ways to do this -- Alpha Course and LifeGroups.
