Saturday Evening, December 5th at 7:00 p.m. 

Kick off the holiday season at Candlelight Carols 2026! Moody Bible Institute’s downtown Chicago campus will be stirring with Christmas spirit as alumni, students, families, friends of Moody, and local residents gather for this beloved musical tradition.

As in years past, you’ll enjoy concert performances by Moody Chorale, Moody Gospel Choir, the Ecclesia and EverPraise Worship Collectives, and the One-O’Clock Jazz Band. You’ll also be moved by an absorbing original drama performance based on the life and ministry of D.L. Moody.

That’s not all—be sure to arrive early or stick around afterwards for a holiday extravaganza! We’ll have food trucks, a Christmas market, and an interactive Festival of the Arts! Come before the concert and stay late to savor the full Candlelight Carols experience.

Invite your family, friends, church group, and neighbors. All are welcome to join us for this one-of-a-kind worship event.
