Lights, camera, church!
If you’re entering a season with traditionally low attendance, we’ve been there. A few years ago at Life.Church, we identified that summer was slow at our campuses. Rather than accept the slump, we tried something new—and it worked!
At the Movies is our annual summer series at Life.Church that uses popular movies to demonstrate biblical truths—and reach people who normally wouldn’t come to church.
During the service, we show clips from popular movies, and Pastor Craig Groeschel bases his message on themes from the films. In our communities, At the Movies has helped us see higher attendance than any other month of the year!
Try it in your church: find the training, marketing, and graphics assets you need to create your own At the Movies event in your church.
