What is a Christmas Gathering?

Christmas Gatherings are holiday parties. They feature seasonal goodies, sharing of Christmas traditions, and a brief, non-threatening talk on the meaning of Christmas. They provide a time for people to invite neighbors or other groups into their homes to hear about the love of Jesus Christ.

Why host a Christmas Gathering?

  • People’s hearts are unusually open to spiritual topics at Christmas time

  • Proven effective, evangelistic outreach

  • Thousands have come to faith in Christ

  • Changed lives through follow-up Bible studies

  • Counteracts the trend of isolation. Many people are never invited into someone’s home, and they are honored to be included

  • Deepen the relationships you have with neighbors
