Bethlehem at Lakes Church

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
This Christmas, Lakes Church is opening a magical portal to the past, inviting our community to experience the wonder of ancient Bethlehem.

On December 5th and 7th, from 5-8 PM, step through the doors of our Downtown Lakeland campus (1010 E Memorial Blvd) and be transported back 2,000 years to the bustling streets where Jesus was born.
Walk through a detailed recreation of Bethlehem, chat with friendly townspeople, and feel the anticipation in the air as you immerse yourself in the greatest story ever told. Kids will delight in hands-on Christmas crafts and cookie decorating, while adults are invited to pause, reflect, and rediscover the true meaning of the season.

This isn’t just another holiday event – it’s an enchanting adventure that will fill your heart with the Christmas spirit and leave you and your family awestruck. Create lifelong memories as you journey back in time to the place where it all began.

All are welcome in Bethlehem this Christmas!
