Women’s Ministry Christmas Event

Thursday, December 4 and Friday, December 5, 6:30-9:00pm

We had such a lovely time last year at our Christmas event that this year we are hosting it twice! Join us for dessert as we share an evening of carols, fun, giveaways, and encouraging stories from a few of our own FAC women.

This is a great opportunity to invite your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to experience the joy of the season with you as we center on the hope we can find even when we and our world feel weary.

Registration is required due to change of event style. Each night will have spots for 200 ladies. Doors will open at 6:30pm for drinks in the Atrium, and the program will be from 7:00-9:00pm in the Sanctuary. We hope to see you there!

Register for Thursday, December 4

Register for Friday, December 5

Important Note

Thursday evening is currently at capacity. We would encourage you to sign up for Friday evening if at all possible. If you are unable to attend Friday, please sign up for the waitlist, and we will open seats as we are able.

Last year we were able to seat everyone on the waitlist, and we anticipate that will be true this year as well.


Men’s Mini Conference: The Mighty Meekness of Masculinity

Saturday, December 6, 8:00-11:00am
Lower Auditorium Chapel

Our guest speaker will be Dr. Robert Cunningham, founder of Christ for Kentucky and host of the Every Square Inch podcast. This session will unpack the biblical view of masculinity, drawn from his podcast series of the same name, and help us understand how true strength is expressed through humility, courage, and Christ-like character.

A full breakfast will be served beginning at 8:00am. This event is free and open to all men, so feel free to invite a friend to come with you. We look forward to learning and growing together!
