Welcome New Neighbors to Your Church

Every year an estimated 45 million people move to a new home, many not knowing the community yet. With the New Mover Program from Outreach, your church can easily send an invitation to these families to join the caring and supportive community at your church.

This unique program allows you to mail only to the carrier routes you want, send beautifully designed postcards twice a month to increase response rates and reach families that moved to your area up to six months ago.

“We have been using the new mover program for around a year. On our mailer, we invite people to bring their mailer in for a gift,” says Pastor Will Kalihof. “We then created a simple gift around a cup: some drink mix, a business card, pen and then on the outside we have postcards with information and a coupon for a free coffee from a local shop that we coordinated with. We have given away hundreds of these gifts to first-time guests and have loved the new mover program.”

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
