Christmas at New Life Academy

A Night in the Presence of the King

Every December, New Life Academy sets aside one evening to remember what Christmas is truly about. Night of Joy is one of our most loved traditions, a night of music, worship and performances that point every heart back to the birth of Jesus Christ.

It is a night to slow down, sit with family and watch our students step forward to celebrate the King who came for us. Come for the joy on their faces. Stay for the wonder of the story they tell.

“Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”

Luke 2:10
