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.”

Small churches can create a family environment for disconnected people if they lean into the built-in intimacy they already have.

Every leader needs to have an apprentice. Even the lead pastor, as you're thinking about what's next, you need to have an apprentice so you can put that person in that role and you can commission them to go.
