Since the inception of the Church, followers of Christ have gathered together on Sunday mornings, known as the Lord’s Day, to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Yet, some churches have made it a regular occurrence to disregard this gathering in favor of other “more important” matters. Every few years, accounting for leap year, Christmas falls on a Sunday. And every few years, Andy Stanley’s Northpoint Church cancels worship service on that day.

How delightful it is to celebrate the birth of the almighty savior by dismissing Sunday morning worship and, instead, spending the day with heathens? That seems to be the plan for numerous churches this year. Since Christmas Day, the day we honor the birth of Jesus Christ, happens to fall on a Sunday this year, many churches have chosen to ignore the importance of Christ and simply focus on the materialistic and commercial aspects of the holiday.

JD Greear, a pastor and former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, leads The Summit Church, a multi-campus 7500-member megachurch located in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. This year, similar to previous years, Greear is canceling worship service on Christmas morning and instead, holding a “Christmas Eve” service on any of the days of the week prior to Christmas.

You can pick a day that’s convenient for you to worship the Lord.

After checking the church’s website and noticing that the schedule is filled for December—all the way up to December 24th—I also noticed that there was nothing listed for December 25th, the Sunday morning for Christmas. So we reached out to the church via their Facebook page to see if they would be holding a worship service that morning. The response: no. Instead, we were directed to a page where we could ostensibly reserve a ticket to one of the three nights that the “Christmas Eve” service would be held.

This follows our report that Andy Stanley’s Northpoint megachurch in the Atlanta area would also be canceling services on Christmas. At least one good thing comes of this: if any true Bible-believing Christians exist in these churches, this will give them the opportunity to find a committed, Bible-believing church to visit and possibly join.
