Christmas at Love — Christmas at Love Church, Omaha. December 22, 23 and 24, 2026.
Christmas at Love
Peace has a name.
Some Decembers are heavy. Maybe this year brought a loss, a diagnosis, a quieter table, or a conversation you're still carrying. Christmas doesn't ask you to pretend any of that away.
It's the story of God stepping into the middle of real life and making room for you there. You don't have to have it together to come. Come as you are, and bring the people you love.
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6 · NLT

Kids
Love Kidz (birth through 5th grade) is open at every time. Give yourself a few extra minutes to check them in.
Parking
Our main lot fills fast. Overflow parking is at Family Fare, Elkhorn South High School (with a shuttle) and the apartment lot just west of the church. Our parking team will point the way.
Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to reserve a seat?
Please do. It's free, takes about a minute, and seats are limited at each time. Reserving holds your spot and helps us get ready for you.
TODO: confirm the walk-in policy, then replace this line (for example: "No reservation? Come anyway. We'll find you a seat.").
How long is it?
65 minutes. You'll be home in time for whatever comes next.
When should I arrive?
Plan on 15–20 minutes early, especially on Christmas Eve. That gives you time to park, check in the kids and find your seat.
What about my kids?
Love Kidz (birth through 5th grade) is open at every time, with a safe, fun experience built for them. Check-in is in the lobby.
Where do I park?
Our main lot at Elkhorn South fills fast. When it's full, park at Family Fare, Elkhorn South High School (a shuttle runs from there) or the apartment lot just west of the church. Our parking team will be out to help.
What should I wear?
Whatever's comfortable. Ugly sweaters and Sunday best are both welcome.
Is there a photo booth?
Yes. Stop by the lobby booth, where a Love Church photographer will take your photo (no personal phones at the booth). Download your photos from our website the same day. There are Christmas treats in the lobby, too.
Can I watch online?
Yes. If you can't be in the room, join us at live.lovechurch.org.
