Attend a Service During Advent

The season of Advent is the four-week long countdown to Christmas. Advent is a time of preparation in the life of the church as we prepare for the most important birthday in the history of the world. The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ means that there is hope for all of us and that God fulfills His promises. We can hope and trust in the Lord, because Jesus has promised us that He will never abandon us. 

 

We pray you will join us for a Sunday church service in December leading up to Christmas. Come and hear about God and the promises He fulfills in Jesus in our December Message Series.  Especially in this season, we are reminded that Jesus comes to us in the midst of grief, loss and struggle, as well as peace, happiness and contentment.


Join us for a Sunday service this Christmas season!

"But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!'" 

- Luke 2:10-14

FAQ - What to Expect

Frequently Asked Questions below to help you as you prepare to visit Mount of Olives Church

  • We're so excited for you to join us! When you arrive, you can park in any of our marked lots or on the street, and if you have questions about where to go, anyone on our team will be happy to help you. The service will last about 60 minutes and will include candle-lighting, live Christmas music, and an encouraging message from a pastor. We can't wait to celebrate Christmas with you!

  • Services take place in the Worship Center at Mount of Olives Church located at:

    Mount of Olives Church

    24772 Chrisanta Drive, Mission Viejo, CA 92691

  • Come just as you are. We’d like you to be comfortable - whether that is dressed in shorts and a tanktop, suit and tie or anything in between. On Christmas Eve, some people dress up a little, but most are still wearing jeans and a shirt.

  • On Christmas Eve, families worship together. So we don't offer our regular weekly children's ministry or student ministry programming - so that families can attend the Christmas Eve services together (including our usual volunteer teams). If your young ones get restless, you're welcome to step outside at any point during the service to run around in the courtyard, use the restroom, or use our 'Cry Room' space to take care of babies.
