Christmas Eve Services

First United Methodist Church of Austin invites you to worship with us on Christmas Eve.

Five services provide flexibility for all ages and stages of life. Our 12:00 p.m. service is ideal for those whose plans make it impossible to participate in our later services. Our 4:00 p.m. family service is a wonderful way for families with young children to worship together. The candlelight services at 6:00, 8:00, and 11:00 p.m. feature carols, choral offerings, scripture, Holy Communion, and the candle lighting to celebrate Christ’s birth.

We’re so glad that you have come our way, and we pray that we might be a blessing in your life. Please visit our New Here? page for more information.  For parking and directions, click here.
