Christmas is Better Together

Come as you are, bring whoever you’re with, celebrate the night everything changed, and help us share that joy with families across St. Louis.

The Light Of The World Has Come

Christmas is the reminder that God didn’t wait for us to get our lives together. He came close. Jesus stepped into our mess, our noise, and our ordinary nights. Whatever you’re carrying into this season, whether it’s joy, grief, or a little of both, you’re welcome here exactly as you are.

Affordable Christmas Toy Drive

Picture a mom or dad in St. Louis choosing the perfect gift for their kid and getting to say, “This is from me.” That’s what Mission: STL’s Affordable Christmas makes possible, and you can be part of it. Grab a new, unwrapped toy, drop it off at Gateway by Sunday, December 6, and help a neighbor give Christmas to their family.

Candlelit Christmas Eve Service

We’ll sing the songs you know by heart and walk through the four movements of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy & Love. Then we’ll light candles together, a reminder that the darkness doesn’t get the final word. Bring your family, bring a friend, and stay for the moment the whole room starts to glow. Kids stay with you for this one. There’s nothing quite like seeing their faces in candlelight.
