The City of Praise Family Ministries presents THE KING IS HERE: All Hail the King. Written & Directed by Mark McKinnon.

Saturday, December 13th @ 1:00 pm
Saturday, December 13th @ 6:30 pm
Sunday, December 21st @ 5:30 pm

The King is Here offers a contemporary reimagining of the traditional Christmas narrative, blending the nativity story with modern hip-hop elements while preserving its biblical core.

Witness Herod the Great's backstory and his secrets to becoming the king of Judea. This faith-based show will take you through Mary and Joseph's journey to find love and events leading to the birth of Jesus. With Herod's mission to protect his seat on the throne at all costs, will Mary and Joseph keep the newborn King safe?

This will be an experience for the entire family and includes live animals and live music!

The VIP Experience is available on December 13th at 6:30 pm and December 21st at 5:30 pm. Seating is limited for the VIP experience.
