Planning for Christmas in your church can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right tools and resources, you can create an unforgettable experience that shares the gospel with your congregation and community. Whether you’re preparing for a Christmas Eve service or a month-long sermon series, having the right resources at your fingertips can make all the difference.

Here are 5 essential Christmas resources for church leaders, all available through Ministry Pass, to help you streamline your holiday planning and focus on what matters most.

1. Christmas Invite Cards for Churches

One of the best ways to grow attendance during the Christmas season is by equipping your members with Christmas invite cards. Creating a “look” for your christmas services, from the December series through Christmas Eve, helps in creating an invitational culture. A cohesive theme makes it easy for members to invite their friends, family, and coworkers to your Christmas services or events, whether with an invite card, sharing a Facebook event, or a flyer hung at the local Starbucks.

Why church leaders need Christmas invite cards:

• They’re simple yet effective tools for outreach.
• They create a personal connection through a tangible invitation.
• Customizable designs save you time and align with your church’s branding.

At Ministry Pass, every one of our sermon series kits include pre-designed layouts for postcards, square cards, and more, but we also include files you can edit in Canva or photoshop, making it simple to create whatever format you want. Browse Christmas Sermon Series ideas.

2. Social Media Posts for Church Christmas Services

Church leaders know the power of social media in today’s digital-first world. With carefully crafted social media posts for church Christmas services, you can reach not only your congregation but also their extended network of friends and family.

Why church leaders need Christmas social media content:

• It keeps your church top of mind during the busy holiday season.
• It encourages members to share posts and extend invitations online.
• Consistent posting builds excitement for your events.

Ministry Pass offers ready-to-use Christmas social media graphics for churches, helping you engage your audience across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Explore our social media resource library.

3. Countdown Videos for Church Christmas Services

Countdown videos for church Christmas services help set the tone and create anticipation before your services begin. They bring a polished, professional feel to your worship experience while allowing people time to settle in and prepare their hearts.

Why church leaders need Christmas countdown videos:

• They reduce distractions and help focus the congregation.
• They create a consistent flow for your service transitions.
• They can be used both in-person and for online streaming.

At Ministry Pass, we offer a variety of Christmas-themed church countdown videos that match the mood of your service, whether you want something playful, reverent, or celebratory. Check out countdown video options.

4. Guest Follow-Up Plans for Churches During Christmas

Many guests who attend your Christmas services may be visiting for the first time. Having a clear guest follow-up plan for your church’s Christmas services is crucial for turning first-time attendees into regular members of your church family.

Why church leaders need a Christmas guest follow-up strategy:

• It helps build meaningful relationships with new attendees.
• Automated follow-ups ensure no one falls through the cracks.
• Follow-up plans can connect guests to future events, small groups, or volunteer opportunities.

Ministry Pass provides church leaders with guest follow-up templates and strategies to create a welcoming and effective follow-up system. Learn more about guest follow-up tools.

5. Announcement Slides for Church Christmas Events

Clear and engaging announcement slides for church Christmas services ensure that your congregation is informed about all the exciting events happening during the holiday season.

Why church leaders need Christmas announcement slides:

• They highlight key details without overwhelming your staff.
• Consistent branding reinforces your Christmas theme.
• Visual announcements engage your audience in a way spoken announcements can’t always achieve.
