Is it Christmas time already? Christmas might feel far away, but planning for Christmas and Advent worship services has already begun. We know that creating the perfect Christmas service setlist is a high priority for churches all over the world, but with the hustle and bustle of the season ramping up, finding the right songs, learning how to play them, helping your worship team learn them, and teaching them to your congregation can become very stressful.
With Christmas and Advent just around the corner, we at Essential Worship want to help you in whatever way we can to make finding and choosing Christmas songs easier and more convenient. Below is a list of some of the top Christmas worship songs. Click each of the songs to find individual resources to help you lead each Christmas worship song in your church. Happy planning and Merry Christmas!
