December 3-6 and December 10-13
from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

This Christmas, come and experience the birth of Jesus at First Assembly of God in Searcy, AR. This adventure will take you back in time for you to experience first-hand the birth of our Savior. The fourth annual Living Nativity features live animals and professionally crafted scenery to provide a memorable Christmas experience. Admission is free and donations are welcome.

For some, it may be difficult to imagine the biblical story of Christ’s birth. That was centuries ago in a culture and time that is completely different from our way of life. No cell phones, no email, no myspace, no…well you get the picture. If there was just a way to convey what it might have been like. If there was some way we could go back to that night or maybe just find something that would be a good representation of that night, maybe all this would make more sense; maybe we could shift our focus off the temporal and toward the eternal.

With that thought in mind and to bridge that gap, Pastor Vernon Ables and Children’s Pastor Mark Ferren of Searcy First Assembly of God came up with a plan. This plan would require countless hours of work, numerous sketches and drawings, and much research. It would take hundreds of church volunteers to sew costumes, build sets, and portray the characters involved in the biblical account of Christ’s birth. It would transform the outside of First Assembly into the town of Bethlehem and allow visitors to drive through the “city” in order to experience the birth of Christ. But more than that, it would be the kind of reminder and uplifting experience that people need during the Christmas season. From this plan came “The Living Nativity”. Now going into its fourth year, “The Living Nativity” has been seen by more than 30,000 people and has impacted countless others through testimony after testimony. There is no charge for the event. It is simply the church’s desire to give back to the community a priceless gift with its roots deeply grounded in Jesus Christ.

If you would like to experience Christmas from a fresh perspective, please come by First Assembly of God located at 101 Benton Street in Searcy, Arkansas on:

“The Living Nativity” will impact your life all season long and will help you keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas.
