Questions

Everything you need to know before you come.

What should I wear?

Whatever you're comfortable in. You'll see everything from jeans to Christmas dresses and the occasional ugly sweater. Come as you are.

Are kids welcome?

Absolutely. Christmas Eve is a family service, and kids are welcome to sit with you in worship. A little wiggling and a few happy noises are part of the night.

How long is the service?

About 50 minutes, with carols, a short Christmas message, and a candlelight moment to close.

What is the Global Tasting Reception?

Between the 3:00 and 5:00 services, join us in the FBC Forney Mall for a special Tasting Reception. Come sample delicious desserts from around the world and enjoy Christmas drinks. Come early or stay after, and bring the whole family.

Is the candle lighting safe for little ones?

Our ushers will help everyone light candles together near the end of the service, and every candle has a drip guard. We'll also have LED candles for the very littles.

Where do I park, and where do I go?

We're at 1003 College Street, Forney, TX 75126. Look for our first-time guest parking, and our parking lot greeters will help you find a spot and point you to the Worship Center.

Is there accessible seating?

Yes. We have handicap-accessible parking spaces and accessible seating in the Worship Center. Just ask any greeter and they'll help you find a seat.

I've never been to FBC Forney. Will I fit in?

Yes. Christmas Eve is one of our favorite nights to welcome guests. You don't need to know the songs or do anything special. Just come and enjoy the story of Christmas with us.
