Great American Christmas: 

Small Town Churches 

invites Americans to nominate 

a church making a difference 

through faith, service and 

the true meaning of Christmas

NEW YORK — September 17, 2026 — As churches across America prepare to welcome neighbors, friends and families in for the joyous Christmas season, Great American Media is launching a new nationwide initiative celebrating the important role local churches play in caring for their communities, especially during the Christmas season.

Great American Christmas: Small Town Churches invites Americans to nominate a small-town church they love, share how that church serves its community at Christmas, and how additional support from Great American Media could help make an even greater difference.

Churches meet their communities’ most immediate needs while offering faith, encouragement, belonging and hope, helping families reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas.

“Churches are at the heart of so many communities, especially at Christmas,” said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer and Chief of Staff at Great American Media. “We are honored to support some of the churches caring for families, strengthening faith and bringing the true meaning of Christmas to life.”

Support will be shaped around the needs of each selected church and the community it serves. That could include helping with Christmas outreach, food or gift ministries, children’s and family programs, worship or music programs, transportation, decorations or another need identified by the church.

Great American Media is asking church members, pastors, ministry leaders, neighbors and viewers to help identify churches that are taking care of those around them and making Christmas meaningful in their communities.
