Vista's Christmas Program 2025

DUBLIN JEROME HIGH SCHOOL
8300 Hyland-Croy Road Dublin, OH 43016

God, in announcing the birth of Jesus, called Himself “Emmanuel,” which means 'God with us.' There can’t be any more closeness than this irrepressible, unexplainable, ever-present, ever-loving, ever-holding, ever-seeing expression of God to humanity. That above and over all, He would be with us….He will ever be near.

You're invited to NEAR, Vista Community Church's annual Christmas Program - a moving and uplifting worship experience with stirring music, compelling reflection, and upbeat, creative elements all designed to provide encouragement this Christmas season! Our choir and orchestra members come from all over Ohio. Whether you’re approaching the holidays feeling isolated, included, or anything in between, come and encounter a God who is close to us all.

Stick around after the program to enjoy a dessert table (gluten-free options available).
