Christmas Eve Candle Light Worship Celebration

Come home to fierce love this Christmas Eve. Middle Church invites you to a night of soul-stirring worship where gospel and classical music collide in a harmony that will move your heart and spirit. This isn’t your ordinary Christmas Eve — it’s a revolution of love. 

Together, we’ll sing, shout, and proclaim that light still breaks into the world, no matter how dark it gets. No matter who you are or where you come from, there’s a seat for you here. Bring your full self — your joy, your grief, your hope, and your doubt. There’s room for it all.

When: Tonight
Where: 55 Washington Square S, New York, NY 10012

We believe in the power of Love. Period.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
