December 11–13 · Free
We invite you in to create a new family tradition — an evening of candlelight and carols this December at First Baptist Jackson.
December
moves fast
Between shopping lists and year-end deadlines, it's easy to approach the Christmas season without ever slowing down.
We feel it too
That's why every December, First Baptist Jackson sets aside one weekend to slow down, sing the carols we love, and remember the story of Jesus.
Three steps to your new family tradition
