Our Kids team of incredible staff and volunteers have been preparing for MONTHS to welcome your children (ages 5 months - grade 5) into their very own Christmas experiences!
Interactive games, songs, crafts and surprises - all age-appropriate and carefully crafted to meet them at their level.
Kids check-in opens 15 minutes before each service! Visit the Kids page to learn more about our program (and to skip the first-time registration line!)

Wear whatever you want - truly! This Christmas you’ll see some people in dresses and some people in sweatpants. All are welcome and there is no dress code!

We are so excited you’re joining us! Christmas at Southside is for EVERYONE. You, your friends, neighbours, family and co-workers... no matter who you are or what you’ve done, God loves you and we’d love to celebrate Christmas with you!
If you have any questions or just want to say ‘hello’, your first stop is the big, white “Info Desk” in the lobby. The team there can answer any questions you might have and show you around (plus they have a gift for you!) -
If you’re looking to beat the rush, we would recommend the 4pm on the 23rd, or the 2pm service on the 24th!
And don’t worry, all content is exactly the same in all 5 services, so you won’t miss a thing!

Both our adult and kids Christmas services are 1 hour and 10 minutes.

He sure will! Get your free photo with Santa after each service before he jumps into his sleigh for a busy night!

How our community is giving back this Christmas…
This Christmas we committed $500,000 to make our city brighter!
Christmas gifts and food for the month of December, for thousands of kids and families who might otherwise have gone without. For the first time ever, we partnered directly with local schools in our city.
By working with teachers and counsellors, we were able to identify those students early so no child slips through the cracks - and provide ongoing support throughout the year.
2,200 + people gave and volunteered in order to make this our BRIGHTEST year yet! Thank you so much for being a part of this generosity movement. Here are 3 stories to encourage you:
