The King is coming. Jesus Christ has come and will come again. This is the hope of the Church whom He purchased with His blood. Jesus’ coming is the eager expectation and desire of His people. It is our joy because He is our treasure and greatest good. This is the theme of “Advent,” formed from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival.” It’s the traditional celebration of the first advent of Jesus in humility and the anxious awaiting of His second advent in glory. The season is a time for remembering and rejoicing,
watching and waiting.

Join us at 807 West Chapel Hill Street on December 4th at 6:00 pm for a cozy evening of hymns, prayer, and cocoa as we gather in our future church home before renovations begin! We’ll share songs of hope, offer prayers for what’s ahead, and enjoy fellowship together as a church family. Bring a baked good to share—or just bring yourself! Come ready to celebrate, reflect, and dream together as we begin this new Advent season and look with hope toward what God is building in our midst.
We are excited to host our tenth annual Christmas Market: a one-day, low-cost Christmas shopping event for families in the Durham area. Meeting the needs of our community through affordable gifts parents can purchase for their children is a crucial way to be for the good of Durham. This year, our market will be at 807 West Chapel Hill Street on December 13th from 2:00 pm-4:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. You can donate items by purchasing from our wishlist (please sort by priority) here, or sign up below if you'd like to volunteer at the market!
This year our Christmas Eve Services will be on Wednesday, December 24th, at 3:00 pm and 4:30 pm at 1004 N Mangum Street. We hope you’ll join us for one of our services! Childcare will be available for children three and under.
