Experience The Gift – Coming December 5 & 6, 2025

Heritage Baptist Church is preparing for a unique Christmas event you and your family will not want to miss!

The Gift is an outdoor walk-through experience that will guide you along a wooded trail through more than 15 live scenes. With costumed actors, live animals, dramatic lighting, and sound, each scene tells the story of Christ—from prophecy of His birth, life, death, resurrection, and glorious return.

This is more than a performance—it is an opportunity to see, hear, and feel the story of redemption in a way that will touch your heart and point to the true meaning of Christmas!

We’re also glad to share that we will have two vendors on-site during the event: Dixie Que BBQ and She-Brews Coffee and Co. Come a little early—or stay afterward—and enjoy some good food and warm drinks while you’re here.

What to Expect:

A guided outdoor walking trail (lasting 60 minutes).

Over 15 scenes with live actors and animals.

Powerful narration, lighting, and sound effects.

Free admission – all are welcome!
