NASHVILLE, Nov. 28, 2023 – World Outreach Church (WOC) is scheduled to kick off its annual Christmas event medley, including Christmas concerts by the Katinas (Nov. 29) and Anne Wilson (Dec. 10), welcoming in the Nashville area community this holiday season.
From the return of the church’s ice rink to festive and worshipful concerts, children’s events and special Christmas Eve services, World Outreach Church hopes to help everyone throughout the region celebrate the true reason for the season.
Events include:
An evening of Christmas music for the whole family on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 6:30 p. m. with the Katinas for Christmas carols, hymns and worship in Three Crosses Sanctuary. This free event will take the place of WOC’s regular Wednesday night service that week, and no tickets are required.
Free ice skating at the church began Nov. 20. The rink schedule, necessary waivers (to be signed in-advance) and other details, can be found at https://wochurch.org/event/ice-rink/.
On Sunday, Dec. 3, the WOC Teen Choir will present Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. live on stage. There will be two showtimes, at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Come early or stay after the show to enjoy additional children’s activities starting at 2:00 p.m., including Santa’s workshop, live reindeer, live nativity performances, train rides, food trucks, photo ops and more.

On Sunday, Dec. 17, the WOC Children’s Choir will present its production of Away in a Mango live on stage at 6:00 p.m. This festive 45-minute musical tales a holiday cruise to Christmas Island that turns into a perilous adventure—and an opportunity to learn and grow. This free event takes place in Three Crosses Sanctuary, and no tickets are required.
The church will host five Christmas Eve Services, featuring the same worship songs, Christmas message, festivities and childcare, allowing families to worship together at the time most convenient for them:
Wednesday, Dec. 20 at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 23 at 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 24 at 9:30 a.m., 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.
(All services except 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. on Dec. 24 will be livestreamed.)
“All of these events are about much more than entertainment. It’s about welcoming the community to join us in celebrating the arrival of the Baby in Bethlehem, who is the Savior of the world,” Pastor Allen Jackson said. “Christmas should be the most joyous time of the year, and we’re excited to offer these opportunities to families throughout Middle Tennessee. Whether they come to skate at the rink and have a cup of hot cocoa, or join us for Christmas Eve service, we hope they’ll experience the hope and joy that comes with celebrating the true meaning of Christmas.”
