The Importance of Attending Christmas Day Service

Christmas morning is one of the most meaningful times of the entire year—a day set apart to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we gather with family, exchange gifts, and enjoy the warmth of the season, it’s easy to let the busyness of the day overshadow its true purpose. That’s why the Christmas Day Service at First Baptist Church of Bridgeport is such a special opportunity: a time to pause, reflect, and give thanks to God for the greatest gift ever given—His Son.

A Morning of Worship and Wonder

At 10:00 AM, our church family will come together for a heartfelt service centered on worship and the Word. The music will lift our spirits with familiar carols that proclaim the joy of Christ’s birth, and the message will remind us of the hope and salvation found in Him alone. Gathering on Christmas morning allows us to begin the day in the best way possible—by honoring the One whose birth changed the world forever.

Refocusing the Heart of Christmas

In the middle of holiday traditions, presents, and family gatherings, attending church on Christmas Day helps us keep Christ at the center of it all. It’s a beautiful reminder that Christmas is not about what’s under the tree, but about the Savior who hung on a cross and rose again for our redemption. Taking this time to worship together not only strengthens our faith but also sets an example for our children and loved ones of what truly matters most.

A Church Family Celebration

The Christmas Day Service is warm, joyful, and welcoming for everyone. Whether you’ve been part of First Baptist for years or are visiting for the first time, you’ll find a family of believers ready to celebrate with you. There’s something powerful about joining voices with others to sing “Joy to the World” and hearing the timeless story from Luke 2 read aloud—it renews our gratitude and fills our hearts with peace.
