Christmas at PBC

Join us this season!

We’re excited to celebrate the Christmas season together! Join us for our special December events and activities, including our Christmas Eve service, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Christmas Eve Service

Thursday, December 24 at 3pm & 5pm

What are you seeking? How will you respond if you find it? Join us for a family-friendly Christmas Eve at Peninsula Bible Church. We’ll celebrate the season with carol singing, candle lighting, and an encouraging message about God’s incredible love.

Join us in person or online for one of our identical services at 3pm* and 5pm.

Enjoy cookies and cocoa at 4:15pm, between services, and take photos around the Christmas tree!

*Childcare is available during the 3pm service for preschool and younger.

Advent Services

Sundays, November 29 – December 20 at 9am & 11am

Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, join us as we celebrate the advent, or the coming/arrival, of Jesus. We will celebrate the Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love that we receive through the gift of Jesus. Join us for celebration, introspection, and anticipation.

Children are always welcome in service, but we also have Kid’s Church available during both services. Middle School and High School is available during the 11am service only. Learn more about Sunday mornings here.

Special Events

WINTER SKATE

Wednesday, 12/2
5:30-7:30pm | Winter Lodge

Join us for a festive evening of ice skating, laughter, and fellowship as we celebrate the Christmas season together! Bring your family, invite your friends and neighbors, and enjoy a magical night on the ice, complete with a towering Christmas tree in the center of the rink and “snow” falling every hour!

Enjoy free pizza, Cup O’ Noodles, and delicious desserts generously donated by our Children’s Ministry families.

Free admission; skate rental is $30 per skater.

CHRISTMAS MARKET

Saturday, 12/5
3-6pm | Patio & Fellowship Hall

Sunday, 12/6
 10am-1pm | Fellowship Hall

Our annual Christmas Market is an exciting way for us to kick off the Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of Jesus as a Palo Alto community.

On Saturday, the festivities include food booths, Christmas music and readings, kids’ activities, and more.

On both days, join us in the Fellowship Hall and purchase handmade arts and crafts made by our very own PBCers. This is the perfect time to support our ministry partners and missionaries as they continue to share the good news of Jesus throughout the world and do some early Christmas shopping at the same time!
