🎄Christmas at Real Life🎄
This year we invite you and your family to take time out, to slow down and to experience the true meaning of Christmas…
Join us every Sunday beginning November 30th at 10am through Christmas Eve at 6pm for Christmas at Real Life
The Light Of The World Has Come
You are cordially invited to experience the wonder and joy of Christmas with us. Join us as we celebrate the birth of King Jesus, the true reason for the season, through a variety of special events and services.
Here’s the deal…
We know it can be a little awkward visiting a church for the first time. We also know a lot of people show up for the first-time at a new church around Christmas.
Well, we want to make your first visit as easy as possible.
Just click on any of the questions to the right to see more info.
What time is the candlelight service?
Our candlelight 🕯️ service begins on Christmas Eve at 6 PM.
Come a little early for conversation, cocoa, cider and just enjoy the moment before the chaos of Christmas morning.
Real Life is located at
9110 SW Haverhill Rd
Augusta, KS 67010
Will there be childcare at the Christmas Eve service?
There will be a staffed nursery available for infants - 3 years old. You can enter through the main LifeKids entrance on the South side of the courtyard.
Children 4yo - 5th grade will be joining us in the auditorium and each child in attendance will receive a special Christmas coloring book and colored pencils from Drawings by Trent.
What time is the Christmas program?
Our Christmas program will happen as a part of the morning worship service on December 21st. Worship begins at 10am and Santa will be available for pics before and after the service that morning. Bring your entire family and friends as well! There will be childcare available for infants - 3years old during the morning service.
Our LifeKids ministry will be in the service with us this morning and some of the kids will be involved in the program!

Where do I park?
You can park wherever you’d like.
But please note the following:
☑️ Handicap accessible spaces are available near the main entrance off Haverhill.
☑️ If it’s your first time, we’ve got spaces just for you up close to the LifeKids entrance
☑️ A parking attendant will help guide you to a parking spot if your hazards are on.
Our regulars, who are able, will be parking in the South lot and utilizing the South LifeKids entrance so you can have a little easier access!
What should I wear?
As with all of our services, we’re more concerned about what God wants to say to you than what you’re wearing. So, we want you to be clothed 😎 and comfortable. Don’t worry about what you have to wear but what you’re going to hear from God.
Some people wear family PJ’s to the Christmas Eve service, some dress up, pastor Corey wore shorts last year because it was so warm - we want you to be clothed but not self-conscious. 😉
Can I watch services online if I can’t attend in person?
Absolutely! If for any reason you can’t make our in-person service, you can always watch it live on our FaceBook page or right here on our website, just click the button below.

Join our Christmas Family Crew 2025!
Each year Real Life helps to provide a little brighter Christmas for local families.
When you donate to our Christmas Family Crew you’re not just helping us provide Christmas gifts, gas and groceries for these families, you’re giving HOPE to these moms, dads and kids. Hope that they aren’t forgotten. Hope that there is something better waiting around the corner with God. Hope that just because they don’t have as much as others, they can have all they need. YOU are being the hands and feet of Jesus to the marginalized.
The reality is that many families today are one medical procedure, a couple paychecks or a few bad days strung a little too close together, from being in serious need. When you join the Christmas Family Crew you’re offering real hope to these families dealing with real needs.
Thanks you for joining in and helping out!

When the Christmas lights come down
life continues, so here’s what’s going on at Real Life after the tree and tinsel are put away for another year...
No Sunday Service
Christmas is a busy time of year for everyone but when you’re a volunteer at church on top of it all, life gets pretty hectic. So every year we cancel service the Sunday after Christmas and give all our volunteers and staff a Sunday off. We’ll be back the following Sunday, January 4th, rested and ready!
No Awkward First Visits Allowed
Here’s the deal…
We know it can be a little weird or awkward visiting a church for the first time.
- It’s an unfamiliar building with unfamiliar people... 😬
- What do you do with your kids... where is the restroom... what door do you use... 🤔
- You’re unsure of what’s allowed and what’s not... like, can I take my ☕ into the auditorium?
- What if I park in the wrong spot? 🤦
- What if they ask me to stand up and introduce myself 😱 (we won’t btw 😉)
That’s why we created Plan Your Visit.
When you sign up for Plan Your Visit we’ll:
✅ help you find a parking spot
✅ meet you at the front door
✅ help you get your kids checked in
✅ introduce you around to a few people
✅ save you seats
✅ we’ll even sit with you if you want (so you don't have to sit by yourself)
We want to make your first visit as easy as possible, and actually take time to get to know you and your family.
Pretty crazy idea, right?
Will you come hang out with us this Sunday?
