Christmas Eve searches start before Thanksgiving. Is your church ready to be found?
The search starts before the service
Will they find your church?
This December, when someone in your community Googles “Christmas Eve service near me,” is anyone actively making sure your church shows up? Or have you just assumed it’s been handled?
We get it — you didn’t get into ministry to run paid search campaigns. But Christmas is one of the only days all year an unchurched person walks through a door for the first time, and today, that walk starts with a search.
Your Christmas outreach partner
We Help Churches Be FoundFirst This Christmas.
Organic posts reach people who already follow you — your people. Christmas outreach is about reaching the unchurched neighbor who’s never heard of your church, at the exact moment they’re searching. That takes a managed, targeted campaign, not just a post.

A few good questions
Answering What You’re Already Thinking.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — here’s what we tell every church that asks.
We already post about Christmas services on social media.
Organic posts reach people who already follow you, your people. Christmas outreach is about reaching people who’ve never heard of your church, at the moment they’re searching. That takes managed, targeted advertising, not just a post.
We don’t have budget for ads right now.
Christmas is the single highest-return moment of the year to invest in digital outreach. It’s the one weekend unchurched people are actively looking. A modest, well-targeted Christmas campaign often outperforms outreach spend the other eleven months combined. Christmas campaigns start at $399, and you can save $25 on setup fees per eligible platform with the Christmas Fast Pass when you sign within seven days of receiving your proposal.
Isn’t it too late to start?
It depends on the date. Every week closer to Christmas we wait, the more competitive and expensive that search traffic gets, and the fewer weeks we have to reach people before they’ve already made other plans. Sooner is always better, but there’s still time to act.
How is this different from boosting a Facebook post?
A boosted post reaches whoever’s nearby and scrolling. FoundFirst Reach Ads are a managed, multi-platform campaign built specifically around Christmas search behavior, with results tracked in first-time visits, not likes or shares.
Do I really need a dedicated Christmas landing page?
A dedicated Christmas page gives visitors exactly what they need without making them search through your main website. It should quickly answer when and where services are happening, why they should attend, what to expect, and what to do next. Keep it simple, mobile-friendly, use authentic photos, and include one clear call to action. Most importantly, give visitors a compelling reason to come—not just service times.
How can we encourage Christmas guests to come back in the new year?
Give Christmas guests a specific reason and date to return instead of simply saying, “Come back anytime.” Promote a January sermon series, class, family event, or other timely opportunity before Christmas Eve, then reinforce that invitation during the service, on take-home materials, through email, and with January advertising. Plan your January invitation before Christmas so guests leave already knowing their next step.
Every new face has a story
