Teens and parents love movies. Use themes and clips from To Save A Life to bring them together and strengthen families in your church and community!

You work with families, and you know that they're in crisis. In the face of divorce, financial pressures, hectic schedules, and peer pressure, raising a strong Godly family can be tough and seem impossible. And parent and teen relationships are as complicated as ever.

To Save A Life has the power to bring teens and parents together and open dialogue about the issues that matter most. Now you can show the movie in your church and combine it with a To Save A Family Church-wide Campaign, featuring clips and lessons from the movie. Build your biggest outreach ever and enhance your efforts to offer help and direction to families in your community with a To Save A Life Movie Event.

IMAGINE…

Turning your youth room or auditorium into a theater packed for a meaningful family movie night at your Movie Event.
Teens and parents who wouldn’t normally visit your church opening up during discussions about the movie’s themes.
Those families coming back for a seven-week study, growing in faith and learning to reach out to others.
Your youth group living out love in action like never before and transforming their schools and community.

Imagine the difference this effort can make and how it can grow your church both in numbers and in spiritual depth!

Strong Families Know Each Other! Love better, listen well, and pay attention.
Strong Families Fight Well! Resolve conflicts by using biblical principles and practical, step-step method.
Strong Families Raise Good Decision-Makers! Raise children who make good choices.
Strong Families Forgive! Understand why and how to forgive others and yourself.
Strong Families Have Faith! Pass a strong faith along to your children.

Take the Next Step

Step 1: Plan a Movie Event for your church. The Movie Event Package includes a complete planning guide filled with ideas and resources to prepare and accomplish every step.
Step 2: Launch a To Save A Family church campaign or sermon series to start the weekend after your Movie Event. Order a Church Kit and get sermons, video illustrations, and other resources to help you plan a six-week series.
Step 3: Encourage Sunday school classes and small groups to use the Study Guide and Small Group Leader's Kit for a six-week study that will strengthen and encourage families.
Step 4: Get the word out to your community. Unleash your teens and families to use the available tools to spread the word through online networks and personal connections. You can also send direct mail postcards and empower your members with InviteTickets to give their friends!
