Before Bethlehem became the destination, God had already prepared the way.

This Christmas, you’re invited to experience the wonder of The Journey to Bethlehem at The Gallery Church in Kansas City!

Across generations, through people, promises, and prophecy, God was preparing the way for the birth of Jesus. Join us as we discover the extraordinary story behind the very first Christmas—and celebrate the hope, peace, joy, and love that His arrival brings.

From meaningful Christmas worship services to festive family events, FREE Santa photos, and opportunities to bless families in our community, there’s something for everyone throughout Christmas at The Gallery Church.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been part of our church family for years, we can’t wait to celebrate Christmas with you!

This holiday season we are needing your help to spread joy and make spirits bright! We are seeking volunteers to assist during Santa photos, drive-in movie night and Christmas Eve services.
