A new year invites ministries to reflect on what is working, what needs to change, and how to communicate the gospel with clarity and warmth. As digital habits continue shifting, 2026 offers an opportunity to refresh your church's communication strategy with simple, sustainable practices. These ideas can help your congregation stay connected, reach new people, and serve your community with intention.
The calendar has turned, and your church is ready to start 2026 with a powerful worship plan, effective outreach programs, Bible studies and more. But are you doing all you can to share this amazing content with new people in new ways, often online?

If your church had a strong Christmas social media presence or a full Christmas Eve service, the days that follow are not the time to go silent. That does not mean you need a full production schedule between December 26 and January 7. It means you need a plan that gives your community something consistent and meaningful, even while your staff and volunteers recover from the biggest Sunday of the year.
There is no shortage of emails during the holidays. Between retail promotions, school reminders and nonprofit appeals, inboxes fill up before December even begins. So how do you make sure your church's Advent devotional, holiday event or Christmas Eve invitation does not get lost in the noise?
