TOYS FOR TOTS

In partnership with ABC 6, Rock City Church will serve as an official drop-off site for Toys for Tots on Saturday, December 6. Visit the Hilliard, Polaris or Whitehall locations to donate your toys to local families in need. 

CHRISTMAS HOPE

Through our Dream Centers, hundreds of Central Ohio families will be provided with gifts this Christmas season. We encourage you to donate items or volunteer for one or more events this holiday season.

CONNECT WITH US

Planning to attend a Rock City Christmas Eve worship experience? We’d love to meet you, help you connect with a pastor and send you some additional information to make your visit a great experience! 

First-Time Families

For children 6 weeks through 5th grade, a Rock City Kids experience is available during each Christmas Eve worship service. If you’d like to prepare for your first visit and quicken the check-in process, create your family profile in advance.

ROCK CITY POLARIS

The brand-new Rock City Polaris Campus is now open! With several entrances to the property, take a moment to plan your route using this map.

Common Questions

Whether you are coming for your first or hundredth time, we are eager to welcome you to Rock City. At each Christmas Eve service you’ll experience:

  • A dynamic worship experience (approximately 75 minutes)
  • A casual atmosphere
  • Powerful live music
  • Relevant and practical teaching from the Bible


We encourage you to dress how you want. You don’t have to be a certain age, have a certain background or pretend to be anyone but yourself. This is a place where imperfect people connect with God and are encouraged to live out their God-given purposes. No matter where you are in your faith or life, you are welcome here.

Five Rock City locations will host Christmas Eve worship experiences (see above for specific days and times for each location).

Plentiful onsite parking is available at every Rock City location. In fact, we’ll have a parking team awaiting your arrival to point you to a convenient spot. 

In order to create a distraction-free environment where parents and others can experience Jesus, children five years old and younger are not permitted in the main worship experience auditoriums at every Rock City location. Instead, we have designed a special Christmas-themed Rock City Kids worship experience just for them! While this may be inconvenient for some families, we truly believe Rock City Kids will be life-giving and life-changing for your child.

Note that a Mom’s Viewing Room is available at all Rock City locations. If you have a child younger than six weeks or need to keep a child with you during the worship experience, the service is livestreamed within each of these rooms, which offer comfortable furniture, a diaper changing station and other amenities for mothers.
