Experience the true story of Christmas and the excitement of our Savior's birth in an indoor/outdoor setting with dramatic actors, a live nativity, and real animals in our Bethlehem Barnyard. 

  The walk begins with Roman guards in the courtyard surveying the area and protecting the grounds from intruders. If you make it past the soldiers without being questioned by a guard, you will travel past the Bethlehem Barnyard. See, touch, and hear the live animals which represent those that were present at the time of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem.

Once past the outdoor scene, proceed from the courtyard and navigate up the stone stairs to be encompassed by the indoor marketplace. Census takers will greet you and assure you are properly registered. Meet your group and begin the journey down the streets of Bethlehem to the manger.

The sights and sounds surrounding the birth of the Christ Child will take you back to a time in history like no other. In fact, it is the greatest Christmas story in history! Angel choir voices filled the air with the glory of God! Shepherds knelt before the newborn King as Mary and Joseph marveled at his birth.

A light meal and Christmas crafts await downstairs in the Fellowship Hall. Sign up for the Nativity set drawings and visit with others who attend. Everyone is welcome to experience this very special one of a kind birth of the Savior of the World!

Live nativity tours start at 4, 4:30, 5, and 5:30.
