Email Pastor John if you are interested in traveling to Scotland in 2026!

A service that considers those whose Christmas includes holding a candle and singing Silent Night and Joy to the World. Join us for our traditional service with its reading of the Christmas Story, hearing joyous music, and a message from Pastor John, “Love Knows Your Name.” Christ’s birth makes the vastness of God personal. When the angels visit the shepherds in the fields, their message is global but also personal: “To you…a savior is born.” This birth is good news for everyone, especially those who are ignored or disenfranchised. On this night, God is born, and this God of love knows your name. If you can’t join us in person for this beautiful one-hour service, join us online.

Christmas Eve at the Barn (3:30 p.m.;  3:15 p.m. hot cider and crafts table opens) Hot Cider by our firepits. Christmas Story Reading. Sing carols amid the hay. This 30-minute service is ideal for all ages, especially for families with young children. In a time when it is so easy for us to focus on the BIG problems “out there” in our world, we focus our vision on something small, something close to home as we welcome the Christ child into our own church home at EBPC and into your own homes on this day. Christ’s birth makes the vastness of God personal. Our barn is accessed from Concord Road or from the far end of our Concord parking lot.

In a season characterized by joy spread through gifts given and food shared, East Brentwood Presbyterian Church is ecstatic to offer another opportunity to experience joy through the sounds of Nate’ Strasser’s Holiday Harmony, A Christmas Celebration! 

Known for his musical experience in award-winning films and including I Wanna Dance With Somebody, the Whitney Houston Biopic and Netflix series Captain Fall, Nate Strasser is stoked to bring together an event that boasts in its welcoming of people from all ages and walks of life. Attendees can expect to hear a variety of their favorite, traditional Christmas songs with a few twists! When asked why he chose to remix some of our favorite carols, Nate Strasser responded, “I hope to play the familiar carols that people love and want to hear, but play in a way that breathes new life into some of our most beloved, traditional Christmas carols.”  

From the East Brentwood Presbyterian Church, we’d love for you and your family to come and join us, Sunday December 22, 2024 at 7:00PM, for an experience with joy through song and music!

EBPC invites the community to a free screening of the 2017 Oscar-Nominated Netflix short film “Heroin(e),” followed by a discussion featuring experts in the fields of substance misuse and mental health challenges in Middle Tennessee. The 40-minute documentary follows the work of a first responder, drug court judge and street missionary in one of the most plagued areas of the country, Huntingdon, West Virginia. Despite the often tragic situations, the inspirational efforts of these three women provides hope for Appalachia as well as for individuals and families here in the Greater Nashville area who are dealing with these same issues. This is an opportunity to learn more about how our own frontline warriors are making a difference and how you can become a partner in addressing one of the most prevalent health crises in modern history.
