Drive Through Bethlehem

Last updated: December 17, 2025

South Elkhorn Christian Church presents Drive Through Bethlehem on the second Saturday of every December as a gift to the community. For three hours, hundreds of cars line up to see the live presentation of nine scenes of the Christmas story come to life. Our members dress in costume and take their places as shepherds, angels, Roman soldiers, Mary, and Joseph. One of the unique features of our Drive Through Bethlehem is the presence of many animals. We have sheep, donkeys, cows, and a live camel every year.
