Experience the Greatest Story Ever Told this Christmas

A lone traveler lies broken on the side of the road; ignored, despised, and left for dead. Then, from an unexpected place, a stranger appears. Not one bound by law or reputation, but by compassion. His mercy defies expectations, and his kindness sets in motion a redemption story greater than anyone could imagine.

This Christmas, “The Greatest Story Ever Told” invites you to see the real miracle of Christmas. Beneath the twinkling lights and carols, we uncover the incredible story: an outcast hero who crossed heaven and earth to rescue the broken, bind our wounds, and pay the price we could not.

It’s a story of scandalous grace, unrelenting love, and divine compassion in the flesh. A story for those who are lonely, for those who feel unseen, and for those longing for something real.

This season, you're invited to step into a story that’s more than history. Come and see how the road from Bethlehem leads straight into the truth of Christmas.

Christmas Eve Service

Unionville Alliance Church invites you to join us for a traditional Christmas Eve service on December 24th, starting at 6:30 PM. Come 15 minutes early to enjoy a beautiful musical prelude with violinist Neil Dyal. Enjoy an evening of uplifting Christmas music and an inspiring message of hope and wonder. Then, stay after the service for Christmas treats, warm drinks, and meeting others in celebration of the season.

Be sure to plan your visit ahead of time and we'll make sure we have a seat ready for you and that you get a chance for you to meet with our pastor.

You can find Unionville Alliance Church in Markham, on the north side of 16th Avenue, between McCowan and Kennedy.

Immerse Yourself in Every Chapter of the Story

Our Christmas Eve service is the culminating episode of a longer series.

Come out on the Sunday mornings leading up to Christmas Eve or tune in to our YouTube channel to watch as the story begins and unfolds.

Each Sunday service begins at 10:00 AM.

The Spirit of Giving

You've probably heard the saying "it is better to give than to receive". Unionville Alliance Church agrees! And what better time of the year to give than Christmas? We run two unique, major programs during the Christmas season to help give back to our community: our Hampers of Hope Christmas Food Drive and Operation Christmas Child.
