Christmas at Pathfinder Church

Celebrate the Season at Pathfinder!

Discover how God uses small, faithful voices to create the complete picture of the Christmas story... including your voice.

 

Join us this Christmas, and experience the story of Jesus' birth from the perspectives of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds of Bethlehem—small, seemingly insignificant characters—all to the tune of familiar Christmas carols, dynamic storytelling, interactive service elements, and an inspirational message from one of our pastors. 

 

Select from one of our six service times to find the best fit for your family!

 

Christmas at Pathfinder is for the whole family, and we have Kids Packs available at all of the services. Regular Pathfinder Kids programming will not be available during these services.

CHRISTMAS RESERVATIONS

Reservations will allow your family and guests to plan for your day, in order to accommodate the most attendees. All services are the same, excluding the 11pm communion service and the Christmas morning service. We can’t wait to celebrate the birth of Jesus with you!

MAKE RESERVATIONS

Have questions? Let us answer them:

Why do we need to make reservations? + −

Everyone is welcome at Pathfinder Church, however, our sanctuary can only comfortably hold so many people!

Reservations:

  • Ensure spacing and comfort across available services for all attendees. If 2,000 individuals arrived for a single service, it would be a bit tight, and we would be unable to seat everyone in the sanctuary.
  • Allow you to make Christmas plans without wondering if there will be enough room to attend Christmas Services with your whole family or group.

 

Note: Seats are not assigned; it is open seating. A limited number of reservations (800) are available for each service. We will not turn away any guests (even if you do not have a reservation–we want to celebrate Christmas with you!). We gladly welcome and do our best to accommodate anyone who visits Pathfinder Church.

How do I reserve my seat? + −

To reserve seats:

  1. Reservations can be made HERE
  2. As noted above, reservations help us comfortably plan for the day and reduce the possibility of reaching maximum capacity. If a service reaches capacity in the Sanctuary, we will arrange seating and spaces for participation via the service's video stream.

Also, if your plans change and you no longer need your reserved seats or need to change your reservation, please contact our reception desk at 636-779-2300 to update or cancel your reservation. Pathfinder would like to accommodate everyone who wants to worship with us at Christmas; having an accurate reservation count helps us to do that.

When should I arrive? + −

We recommend arriving 15-30 minutes prior to the start of services.

Where do I park? + −

We have lots of parking, and all of our buildings are handicap accessible. So park anywhere in our parking lots, wherever you prefer!

GET DIRECTIONS

What do I wear? + −

Don’t stress over what to wear! Whether you prefer casual dress or you like to wear your Sunday best…we just want you to be comfortable. It’s not unusual to see the whole spectrum at any service, including our holiday services.

What's a Christmas service experience like? + −

Each worship service lasts around 60 minutes and includes singing, special creative elements, prayer, an engaging message with real-life illustrations and challenges, and a time for offering.

You can browse our message archives or watch a service live on Sunday to get an idea of what normal weekend services HERE.

What if I’m nervous about going to church? + −

If you’re like a lot of people, you may be hesitant to walk through the doors of a church. We get it! You can check us out by live streaming one of our regular services at 9:00am (CT) on any given Sunday morning. OR participating in our live-streamed Christmas Eve Service on December 24 at 3:00pm (CT).
