Bethlehem LIVE! is a living nativity — a real live enactment of the town of Bethlehem and the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.

Gateway Church presented Bethlehem LIVE! each Christmas for 10 years, touring over 52,000 guests to the 1st century town built in our gym. After taking a 10-year break and moving to a brand new facility, we’re ready to bring it back!

Introducing Bethlehem LIVE! 2025

—

Your journey begins as you enter the Time Tunnel and travel back in time 2,000 years!  Your tour group will be guided by a shepherd who has come forward in time to take you back to experience the sights, sounds and smells of Bethlehem’s first Christmas.

As you leave Bethlehem, you will be welcomed back to the present time by a host who will explain the relevance of Jesus’ birth to our lives today. Your “journey” ends with refreshments offered by some volunteers eager to help weary pilgrims.

Jesus Christ’s birth changed history forever. But Bethlehem LIVE! portrays so much more than a one-time historical event. Jesus continues to change lives today through His message of hope, life and love. He has changed our lives.

We hope He will change yours too.
