Great American Media has announced the launch of a national initiative, Great American Christmas: Small-Town Churches, aimed at celebrating and supporting the vital role local churches play in their communities during the holiday season. The program invites individuals across the country to nominate small-town churches that are making a difference and to share how additional support from Great American Media could amplify their impact.
Churches often provide essential services such as food, coats, gifts, and Bibles to families in need, but their influence extends beyond material assistance. They offer faith, encouragement, belonging, and hope, helping people reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas. The initiative seeks to recognize these efforts and provide resources to help them do even more.
"Churches are the heart of so many communities, and that takes on special meaning at Christmas," said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer and Chief of Staff of Great American Media. "They care for families, support their neighbors, and help people stay connected to their faith and to the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas As It's Meant To Be has always been about faith, family, and caring for those around us."
The support will be customized to meet the specific needs of each selected church and the community it serves. This could include assistance with Christmas community outreach activities, food or gift ministries, children's and family programs, worship or music programs, transportation, decorations, or other needs identified by the church. By tailoring aid, Great American Media aims to maximize the positive impact for each recipient.
Nominations are open to church members, pastors, ministry leaders, neighbors, and viewers who want to highlight churches that are caring for those around them and making Christmas especially meaningful. The nomination period runs through October 15, and selected churches will be announced on October 27. They will then be celebrated across Great American Media's social and digital platforms, bringing national attention to their work.
For families looking to continue celebrating the season together, Great American Pure Flix offers a collection of faith- and family-centered Christmas movies and stories throughout the holiday season. This complements the initiative's focus on faith and family.

This initiative matters because it shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked contributions of small-town churches, which serve as pillars of support in their communities. By providing tailored resources, Great American Media can help these churches expand their reach and impact, ensuring that more families experience the joy and hope of Christmas. In a time when many communities face economic and social challenges, such support can make a significant difference, fostering resilience and connection. Moreover, the initiative encourages broader participation and recognition, potentially inspiring other organizations to invest in local faith-based efforts. Ultimately, it reinforces the values of generosity and compassion that define the holiday season, reminding us all of the importance of coming together to care for one another.
