HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES?

What can I expect?
No matter who you are, whatever your story, if you have questions, doubts, or you're not even sure what you believe, RiverTree Massillon is a safe and welcoming environment where you can ask questions, meet others and explore faith in community.  

Our services are typically 60-70min long. You can expect contemporary worship, relevant biblical teaching from a high-caliber leadership team, and multiple ways to connect. Basically, we have pretty awesome worship, sermons and a place for you!
Do I need to be a regular attender to participate in holiday events?
Absolutely not! You're welcome on Sunday mornings, on Christmas Eve, and at any of our church-wide events, we'd be happy to have you.
Where should I go when I arrive?
You can use our main entrance on the east side of the building. Once inside, stop by the New Here area at the top of the stairs, and our team will show you around.

Have kids? Look for the RiverTree Kids area in the lobby to check in.
What should I wear?
Come as you are! Whether you prefer jeans, shorts, or dress shoes, you’ll find a relaxed and welcoming environment. Wear what makes you comfortable—we’re just glad you’re here.
Will RiverTree Kids be available?
RiverTree Kids will be available for newborn - preschool aged kids during all of our Christmas Eve services. Our team will be available at the RTK Check-in area to answer any questions you have and get your kids checked in!

Your elementary, middle, and high school students are invited to join you in the main sanctuary for service. We'll have Christmas activity kits available for grades K-5. 

Visit our Kids and Students pages to learn more about our regular Next Gen programming. 
Are there accommodations for people with disabilities?
Our accessible entrance is located to the far left of the main entrance, past the new building addition. We have reserved parking available nearby. Once through the door, turn right, and follow the hallway into the sanctuary.

If for any reason worshipping in the main sanctuary is uncomfortable, we have various spaces throughout the lobby for you to sit and still enjoy the service.

Need assistance? Let us know in advance and we will have someone available to help you.
