Great American Media has announced the launch of a national initiative, Great American Christmas: Small-Town Churches, aimed at recognizing and supporting the efforts of small-town churches during the Christmas season. The program invites individuals across the country to nominate a small-town church they love and share how that church serves its community during Christmas, as well as how additional support from Great American Media could help achieve an even greater impact. Nominations will be accepted through October 15, and selected churches will be announced on October 27.
The initiative underscores the critical role that local churches play in providing for their communities. Churches often meet immediate needs by offering food, coats, gifts, Bibles, and support to families who need a helping hand. However, their impact extends far beyond material assistance. They offer a place where people can find faith, encouragement, belonging, and hope, and reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas. By launching this search, Great American Media aims to amplify these efforts and provide resources that can help churches expand their reach.
“Churches are the heart of so many communities, and that takes on special meaning at Christmas,” said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer and Chief of Staff of Great American Media. “They care for families, support their neighbors, and help people stay connected to their faith and to the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas As It’s Meant To Be has always been about faith, family, and caring for those around us.”
The support provided will be tailored to the specific needs of each selected church and the community it serves. This could include assistance with Christmas community outreach activities, food or gift ministries, children’s and family programs, worship or music programs, transportation, decorations, or another need identified by the church. Great American Media is calling on church members, pastors, ministry leaders, neighbors, and viewers to help identify churches that are caring for those around them and making Christmas especially meaningful in their communities.
For those interested in nominating a church, more details are available at https://greatamericanchristmaschurch.com. The selected churches will be celebrated on Great American Media’s social and digital platforms. Additionally, for families looking to continue celebrating the season together, Great American Pure Flix offers a collection of faith- and family-centered Christmas movies and stories throughout the holiday season.
This initiative matters because it shines a spotlight on the essential work of small-town churches, which often operate with limited resources yet provide invaluable support to their communities. By offering tailored assistance, Great American Media not only helps these churches enhance their holiday programs but also reinforces the message that faith, family, and community are at the heart of Christmas. In a time when many are seeking connection and meaning, this campaign encourages people to come together and support one another, embodying the spirit of giving. It also provides a platform for churches to share their stories and receive recognition for their dedication, potentially inspiring others to get involved. As the holiday season approaches, the Great American Christmas: Small-Town Churches initiative serves as a reminder of the power of local faith communities and the importance of lending a helping hand.
