Great American Media has announced the launch of a national initiative aimed at supporting small-town churches during the Christmas season. The program, called Great American Christmas: Small-Town Churches, invites individuals across the country to nominate a local church they admire and explain how it serves its community at Christmas, as well as how additional support from Great American Media could amplify its impact. The initiative underscores the critical role these churches play in providing not only material assistance—such as food, coats, gifts, and Bibles—but also spiritual and emotional support, offering faith, encouragement, belonging, and hope to those they serve.
According to Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer and Chief of Staff of Great American Media, churches are the heart of many communities, a role that becomes especially significant during the Christmas season. "They care for families, support their neighbors, and help people stay connected to their faith and to the true meaning of Christmas," Haubrich said. "Christmas As It’s Meant To Be has always been about faith, family, and caring for those around us." This initiative aligns with Great American Media's broader mission to celebrate faith and family, particularly through its holiday programming and digital platforms.
The support provided to selected churches will be customized to meet the specific needs of each church and its community. Potential areas of assistance include 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 support, Great American Media aims to make a meaningful and lasting impact, ensuring that each church receives help where it is most needed.
Great American Media is calling on church members, pastors, ministry leaders, neighbors, and viewers to nominate churches that are making a difference. Nominations will be accepted through October 15, and the selected churches will be announced on October 27. They will then be celebrated across Great American Media’s social and digital platforms, bringing national recognition to their efforts. This initiative not only provides tangible support but also shines a spotlight on the selfless work of small-town churches, encouraging others to recognize and appreciate their contributions.
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 by providing entertainment that reinforces the values of faith, family, and community.

The implications of this announcement are significant. By supporting small-town churches, Great American Media is reinforcing the importance of local faith communities as pillars of support during the holidays. This initiative not only addresses immediate needs but also strengthens the social fabric of small towns, where churches often serve as central gathering places and sources of hope. In a time when many communities face economic and social challenges, such support can be transformative, helping churches expand their outreach and deepen their impact. Furthermore, by inviting nominations from the public, Great American Media fosters a sense of collective participation and recognition, celebrating the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to make Christmas meaningful for others.
