Christmas is a great time to reach unchurched people and should not be underestimated.
An estimated 82% of unchurched people are open to attending church if invited.
Christmas services need to balance contemporary aspects with traditional elements.
Follow-up with attendees should be programmed into Christmas services to help people realize their spiritual spark and decisions made during the service.
Make it easy for people to attend, such as creating a page on your website that is easy to find and offering free tickets.
Just being traditional during Christmas can result in a forgettable and irrelevant service.
Making it too contemporary can lose people by not meeting their expectations.
Introduce a twist by providing the expected Christmas songs and baseline message with a fresh approach.
Christmas outreach toolkits are available exclusively in The Art of Leadership Academy.
Being intentional in addressing the surprising and scandalous nature of the Christmas story can provide a powerful application to everyday life.
