Experience the Hope of Christmas
CELEBRATE THE GOOD NEWS THAT
JESUS CAME TO US!
Christmas Eve at Northshore is all about good news breaking into real life. It’s the story of Jesus’ birth—God stepping close, bringing hope, healing, and renewal right where we need it most.
Every service begins with our NKids Choir, so come a little early to take it in. From there, we’ll sing carols, hear a message about the hope Jesus offers, and share a candlelight moment that anchors the whole night. Across campus you’ll find festive lights, warm hot chocolate, and a photo booth to capture the joy of the season. Kids ages birth to five have their own special program, and older kids will join in on interactive moments throughout the service.
Whether you’re joining us in person or online, you’re invited to experience the good news that changes everything.
Service Times
You might be wondering...
What is service like?
It’s a joyful and meaningful hour filled with familiar carols, an inspiring message, and a special candlelight moment to end the experience.
What should I wear?
There’s no dress code here—whether you’re in your favorite cozy sweater, your Sunday best, or coming straight from a busy day, we want you to feel at home. What matters most is that you’re here, just as you are.
What about Kids & Students?
Kids from birth through age 5 will enjoy a short, meaningful Christmas experience in NKids. Kids in 1st grade and up get to enjoy the full service—including our NKids Choir opening!
Is this a candle light service?
Yes! Each of our service times will conclude with a beautiful candlelight celebration—a moment to pause, reflect, and share the wonder of Christmas together. It’s the kind of experience that creates lasting memories, whether it’s your first time with us or a cherished tradition you look forward to every year.
What about parking?
Parking is easy and fully supported at our Kirkland campus. You can park in any of our on-campus lots, or use the overflow parking located just across the street. Our crosswalk officers will be out front to guide traffic and help you cross safely, making your arrival simple and stress-free.
Will the Kids Choir be part of every service?
Yes. The NKids Choir will open each service with a special Christmas performance. We encourage families to arrive early so you don’t miss their moment on stage—it’s a highlight of the celebration and a great way to kick off the service.
Step Into the Story
This Christmas, you have the chance to do more than celebrate — you can bring it to life. Over 3,000 visitors will step onto our campus, and every smile, every helping hand, and every act of service makes that experience unforgettable.
Whether you’re greeting guests, serving cocoa, or creating a moment of wonder for a child, your role matters. It’s more than volunteering — it’s an opportunity to share hope, joy, and love with our community.
