Participants will gather on the Christian City campus for a 5K and fun run featuring our annual tree lighting event, carolers, holiday lights costumes, the Coca-Cola holiday truck, refreshments, and, of course, photos with Santa Claus.

Proceeds from the evening support Christian City’s five Children & Family Programs, continuing a legacy of care that began in 1965. Founded by a group of churches who recognized a deep need in the community, Christian City has grown into a nearly 500-acre campus serving children and families facing challenges including poverty, homelessness, neglect and abuse. In addition to supporting families in crisis, Christian City is also home to more than 1,000 seniors living in affordable housing—proving that care, compassion and community can truly change lives.
