Christmas Eve online service: how to join in 2026
Quiet Light Church services run around the clock, so you can worship online on Christmas Eve from anywhere, with no sign-up. On December 24 the “candle around the world” lights each country at its own local midnight, and a choir of visitors is heard in the sanctuary. The Bethlehem stable is open from December 20.
Joining on Christmas Eve
Open church.tllhouse.com and enter the cathedral. A service starts at least once every hour, led by an AI pastor in your language, so there is no single ticket time to catch. Many churches hold candlelit evening services with carols on Christmas Eve, and this is one more quiet place to pause.
A candle around the world
On December 24, each country on the world map lights up at its own local midnight into December 25. You can watch the light travel from time zone to time zone, and light a free candle yourself.
The world choir and Bethlehem
Visitors can record one phrase of “Silent Night” from December 1 to 18, with consent. The combined voices are heard in the sanctuary from December 24, and everything is deleted on January 1 (Korea time).
The Bethlehem stable area is open from December 20 to the end of December 26, Korea time. There you can kneel and leave a one-line prayer that only you see.
