December 3-4 from 6:00-9:00 PM

For nearly 60 years, the Live Nativity has been First Christian Church of Huntington Beach’s Christmas gift to our community. The experience has taken many forms over the years, all rooted in a simple idea: to bring our neighbors together to experience the story of Jesus’ birth.

In recent years, guests could drive or walk through nine scenes. This year, the Live Nativity is walk-through only, with seven scenes across our campus. As you walk from scene to scene with family and friends, you’ll see actors and live animals bring the Christmas story to life.

Afterward, stick around and make a Christmas craft or grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa at the Christmas Café. You can even buy a s’mores kit and sit by the fire pit to catch up with a friend or get to know someone new.

Volunteers Needed

It takes a team of volunteers to bring the Live Nativity to life each night. You can act in a scene, help with the animals, welcome guests, direct traffic, lend a hand with kids’ crafts, or help feed our volunteers in the kitchen. However you choose to serve, you’ll help us share the story of Jesus’ birth with our community.
