Back to Bethlehem

“Back to Bethlehem” Returns to First Baptist Ozark for Its Grand Finale. This December, First Baptist Church of Ozark invites the community to step back in time over 2,000 years to the town where hope was born. Experience an immersive, walk-through live nativity that brings 1st-century Bethlehem to life. Guided by a local “Bethlehem native,” guests will walk through busy city streets, visit shepherds with their flocks, and explore an open-air marketplace filled with merchants and townspeople. Come encounter the first Christmas. Hear the angels’ message to the shepherds, see the newborn King in the manger, and reclaim the true meaning of Christmas. The event will take place December 4–5 from 5:30–8:30 p.m. and December 6–7 from 5:00–8:30 p.m. in the parking lot of First Baptist Church of Ozark. Back to Bethlehem is free and open to the public, and reservations are encouraged—especially for groups of six or more. Reservations are now available by calling 417-360-8865 or visiting fbcozark.org/bethlehem. Join us for Back to Bethlehem and rediscover that the story of Jesus’ birth is more than history—it is the story that changed the world forever.
