Christmas
At Blackhawk
Tuesday, December 23 & Wednesday, December 24
Whether you’re celebrating, searching, or simply curious—you’re welcome here this Christmas. Join us at our Brader Way (Middleton), Downtown, or Fitchburg locations, or online, as we celebrate the hope, joy, and peace of Jesus’ story together.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each service lasts about 60 minutes and includes familiar Christmas songs and a short message about the real story of Jesus’ birth. It’s designed to be meaningful whether this is your first time exploring faith or you’ve been walking with Jesus for years.
Kids programming for birth through kindergarten is available at services marked with an asterisk (*) below.

Do I need to get there early?
We recommend arriving 15-30 minutes early, especially for Christmas Eve services, which tend to fill up. This gives you time to find parking, grab coffee, drop kids at check-in if needed, and settle in before the service starts. Our team will be ready to welcome you and help with any questions.
What should I wear?
Whatever makes you comfortable! You’ll see everything from jeans and sweaters to dresses and button-downs. There’s no dress code, and we genuinely mean that. Come as you are.
What about parking?
Brader Way & Fitchburg
As you arrive, the Parking Team will welcome you, assist you in parking, and point you to our main entrance.
Downtown
Several UW campus parking garages offer free parking after 4:30 PM, and street parking throughout downtown is free after 6:00 PM. You’ll also find pay-on-exit ramps on Lake Street and Frances Street, plus a heated underground ramp directly below Upper House.
What about Kids?
Services marked with an asterisk (*) offer Blackhawk Kids programming for birth through kindergarten, with age-appropriate fun, music, and the Christmas story. Everyone is invited to check their kids in, whether you’re a regular, it’s your first time, or you’re just visiting for Christmas. Pre-register to make drop-off even faster. Pre-register here >
Older kids are welcome to sit with you in the service. We promise it won’t be boring—the music is engaging, and the message is accessible for all ages.

Blue Christmas
Tuesday, December 16, 7 PM | Brader Way
The holiday season can be a lonely and difficult time for many reasons: grief, homesickness, financial struggles, difficult relationships, illness, anxiety, depression, and concern for global issues like violence and injustice. If you’re experiencing any of these things, we want you to know that you are not alone. Join us for a time to gather with others and be reminded that God gives us hope and comfort.
Coming Up After Christmas
Worship Where You Are
Sunday, December 28 | Online
No In-Person Services at Any Site
We will NOT be holding services at ANY of our locations. Instead join us online for something we do called Worship Where You Are, a short time of musical worship with a message for the new year. This will be on demand anytime starting on Sunday, December 28 which you can find on our Watch page or YouTube.
