Christmas is a joyful, open invitation to everyone—whether you're surrounded by kids waking up early on Christmas morning, navigating a quieter season, or looking for a place to belong. In Jesus, God invites us into a welcoming family bound not by bloodlines, but by His remarkable love and sacrifice. Come celebrate the wonder of Jesus’ birth and experience the warmth of His family with us!

Meaningful Worship: Sing familiar carols and share communion together.
Family Gathering: Kids of all ages will worship together in the auditorium as one church family (no separate KIDS or Student programming).
Candlelight Closing: We’ll end by filling the room with candlelight to represent the light and hope Christ brings to the world (electric candles available for children).
We’d love to celebrate with you! If you can’t be with us in person, you can join us online for any of the five services using the button below.
We are excited to be partnering with two local ministries this year, Christian Campus House (CCH) and Student Mobilization (StuMo). Both do tremendous work on the Mizzou Campus, as they aim to provide opportunities for students to find and deepen their faith with Jesus.
More details will be coming soon about how you can partner well with these ministries. In the mean time, please be in prayer over the students in their ministry & their staff as they finish the semester.
Unite with our church family by participating in these daily reflections to help prepare our hearts this Christmas season. Join in each day by spending time in God's word and following simple prompts designed to draw you nearer to our Savior. The Reflection was designed to meet you right where you are—no matter your age or where you find yourself on your spiritual journey.
Available for pick up on Sunday, November 29 at the Starting Point.
Come hear the good news of Jesus coming to Earth from the cutest presenters you've ever seen and the sweetest singing voices you've ever heard!
Throughout this season, our kids have been learning about the hope and joy of Jesus, and this special performance is their opportunity to share it with all of us. Bring your family, invite your friends, and come celebrate the wonder of Christmas through the eyes of our littlest storytellers!

Christmas at Forum is one of the most incredible times of the year, and it takes a whole church family to make every person who steps through our doors feel genuinely welcomed and loved.
