Good to know: Registering does not reserve a seat, but it helps our staff plan and helps you pick a preferred service. Please arrive early to get the seats you want for your group. Questions? Email info@orchardhillchurch.com or call 724.935.5555.

First time?
You're welcome here
Join people from all over Greater Pittsburgh as we celebrate the birth of Jesus with music, a message of hope, and candlelight. Here's what to know before you come.

Do I need to register?
It's not required, and registering doesn't reserve a seat — but it helps us plan for every guest and helps you pick a preferred service.
When should I arrive?
Plan to arrive 30–50 minutes before the service starts. Our larger services fill up, and once the room is full, guests are seated in the Lobby or the Chapel to watch the service on video.
How long is a service?
About an hour, including music, a message, and the candle lighting.
What about my kids?
Childcare is available at every service except the 9:00 pm service at Wexford. Ages vary slightly by location, so check the location details above. Older kids are welcome to sit with you and join the candle lighting. New to Kidzburgh? Pre-register your family ahead of time to make check-in faster.
Pre-register for Kidzburgh →What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable in. You'll see everything from jeans to Christmas sweaters to dresses, and everyone from really casual to dressed up.
What happens at the candle lighting?
The candle lighting is the last part of the service. You'll find a candle in your seat's cupholder or under your chair. It starts with a single candle held by the pastor, and the flame is passed person to person until it spreads throughout the whole room.
I'm not sure what I believe. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Whether you are deeply committed to your faith or simply exploring, you are welcome here.
Is the building accessible?
Yes. Along with the main parking lot, there is a special needs lot and handicap parking for anyone who needs to be closer to the building. Let a greeter know if you need any help when you arrive.
Watch from anywhere
Christmas Eve, live
Can't be there in person? We'll stream the Christmas Eve services live at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm, and 9:00 pm. Host a watch party, tune in from the road, or join us wherever you are.
