Want to Grow Year Round?
Start an Acts of Kindness Campaign for $50.00
Most Churches tend to see growth and attendance stall in the summer months. Does it have to be that way? A full 60% or more of people in our communities don't attend church at all, so there's no shortage of people to invite. How can we engage these people and invite them to our church this summer?
While many people will be taking vacation this summer there is still ample opportunity to invite people when they are at home. Not all of America will be on vacation at the same time so let’s open our church doors to those people that are still in the neighborhood each weekend. An Acts of Kindness Campaign engages our communities and raises awareness about your church.

Christmas is such an important time of year for your church. Think of the amount of people who check out church this time of year who normally wouldn’t otherwise darken the door of one. It’s a huge opportunity to connect with new people.
