Christmas Eve Eve at redemption
Service Begins In:
Are you looking for joy this season?
Do you feel frazzled with all the stuff to do during the holidays? No matter what this year—or the last few—have looked like for you, they’ve likely held challenges you never saw coming.
Life seems to swing from one extreme to another, and it’s easy to feel like you’re just trying to keep up.
Most of us are longing for something steady—something real.
Something like peace.
Something like joy.
That’s what Advent at Redemption is all about.
This season, we’re exploring how Jesus brings a deep, lasting joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances. Life might not magically get easier—but with the joy of Jesus, it can feel lighter, steadier, and more hopeful.
Come rest. Come breathe. Come experience joy again.
If you haven't attended a service at Redemption before, we would love to see you on Christmas Eve (Eve). We want to make your first visit as simple and comfortable as possible.

On Sunday mornings, we hold our services at Trinity Lutheran Church in Kirkwood at 9AM
BUT our Christmas Eve (Eve) service is held on 12/23 at 6PM with pre-service treats at 5:30PM.
We do not have service on the Sunday after Christmas, 12/29/24

About 60 minutes in length. Our service begins with our band leading the church in music. We'll project song lyrics on the screens so you can sing along, but feel free to engage however you feel most comfortable. After the music is complete (usually 2-3 songs), our speaker will come out to share an encouraging and hope-filled message. At the end of the message, we'll participate in communion. If you're not sure what that's all about, no worries. We'll explain everything and there is never any pressure to participate in communion.
-
At Redemption, the vibe is exciting, comfortable, and welcoming. Come as you are—jeans, suit, whatever feels like you. Our lead pastor is usually in jeans and a casual shirt.
We’re a celebration church: not solemn and candlelit, but joyful, hope-filled, and ready to raise the roof. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll fit right in. -
We normally offer a fun, engaging Redemption Kids experience, but for Christmas Eve(Eve) we’ll enjoy the service together as one big church family. Kids will be in the room with us, so expect a few wiggles and whispers—we’re completely okay with that. We love having families together, and everyone is welcome.
-
As soon as you pull into Trinity, our friendly parking crew will help you find your way. Head toward the clearly marked front doors, and we’ll be waiting to welcome you and point you wherever you need to go.
