Watch Live at 5 PM
Join us at 10 AM as we celebrate the fourth Sunday of Advent, followed by a special Christmas Eve Service at 5 PM, preparing our hearts and minds for the birth of Christ. Christmas Eve is a time of waiting, hoping, and prayer for the future. As our community transitions to a new reality outside of the Ocean Beach sanctuary, we look to Mary and Joseph for divine inspiration knowing that our Savior came into the world during a time of darkness and uncertainty. May the light of God guide us onward in peace, hope, joy, and love during this bleak mid-winter.
