WHat to Expect

The Mount Laurel Living Nativity is a completely free gift to the community that has run for over 25 years! It is a live production with 13 walk-through, outdoor scenes. About 200 cast and crew are required to run it each night.

​When you arrive you'll enter the building, be given a group number and be seated in the sanctuary. While waiting you can enjoy live entertainment, until your group is called. Once your group begins, it takes about 45 minutes to walk through all the scenes (mostly outside, so bundle up). Your tour finishes in the gym, where there are homemade cookies and hot chocolate waiting for you.

It is our hope that you make the Living Nativity a part of your Christmas, as we together celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus.

FAQ

Is the Nativity Wheelchair Accessible?
We provide golf carts and drivers for those who need it each night. Simply let one of the greeters at the main entrance know of your need and they'll help you get to the right place.
Is the Nativity Stroller Accessible?
Strollers are welcome at the Living Nativity. You'll be asked to park your stroller as you wait in the main auditorium, and you can pick it up as your group heads outside. The ground can be a little uneven, but definitely stroller accessible.
What should I wear to the Nativity?
12 of the 13 scenes are outside, so you'll want to bundle up for whatever the outdoor conditions are. Typically a group is outside for 35-45 minutes, so we're guessing you'll want to bring hats, coats gloves.... the works.
Do I need to pay for parking (or anything else)?
Nope, it's completely free. No strings attached.
Can I give a donation?
We're thrilled you enjoy the Living Nativity so much! But no, we don't accept donations. It is our pleasure to give this as a gift to the community.
Do you have anything for the Hard of Hearing or Deaf?
We offer a downloadable PDF transcript of the Nativity that you can read off your mobile device. 
Do you offer anything for Spanish Speakers? ¿Hay algo disponible para los hispanohablantes?
We have a downloadable transcript of the nativity in Spanish. 
​Hay una transcripción descargable de la natividad en español.
Do Large Groups need to Register Ahead?
No registration is required, however if your group is larger than 40 people, please call the main office so we can be prepared and recommend the best time to arrive. We generally recommend that you plan to get there as early as possible (5pm or even a little earlier) so your group doesn't have to wait too long.
Are there any Tickets or Registration Required?
No, there is no registrations or tickets. It is strictly a first come, first serve basis, so you may be waiting in a line before walking through.
IF I OR A FAMILY MEMBER HAVE A DISABILITY OR SPECIAL NEED, ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS?
We have special dates and times allotted for adults and children with special needs or a disability. During this hour the group size will be smaller, waiting time is limited and extra staff will be on hand to ensure each visitor’s experience is maximized. Register here so we can prepare for your needs.  Please  see registration  for additional details. 
Can I bring My Pet Dog?
Sorry, but pets are not allowed through the Living Nativity.
​Are Service Dogs allowed?
​"Service dogs" are defined as those individually trained to support a specific person with a disability. 
Serviced dogs are allowed. They must be visibly identified as a “service dog” as well as on a harness or lead at all times. 
Please note that we have live farm animals in several scenes. If this is going to be distracting for your service dog, we can let you know the scenes in advance.
Are there Rain dates?
Unfortunately we cannot offer any rain dates for canceled nights of the nativity.

ABOUT Fellowship Community Church
The Mount Laurel Living Nativity is a ministry of Fellowship Community Church. We are thrilled to give people this unique way of celebrating Christmas together with their family each year. It's a great way for us to both serve our local community in the Mount Laurel area, as well as pull together to communities and friendships within our church.

If you are looking for a place where you can become part of a community, begin investing in deep and meaningful relationships and explore more about your faith and the Bible, our doors are always open. We have community groups available for individuals and families at any life stage. These small groups of 8-12 adults "do life together", meaning they join with each other in life's difficulties and questions, learning from and encouraging one another, and seeking truth together through the Bible.

Join us on Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve services are great family-friendly gatherings that feature lots of singing, a special time for kids, a Christmas devotional and culminates in a candlelit Christmas hymn. We would love to have you join us in celebrating the arrival of our savior, Jesus.
