What is Advent Conspiracy?

In 2006, three friends and pastors were talking about how their churches were struggling through the Christmas season…exhausted, drowning in debt, emotionally drained, and even missing the whole point of the season: the incredible birth of the Savior.  So they decided to do something about it and Advent Conspiracy was born.

They challenged their churches to do Christmas differently…to have a renewed focus on worship and to spend less money and give more time and resources and love to relationships and those in need.  And a movement started.

In 2007, North Point joined in with a handful of other churches, to make Advent Conspiracy a priority, and it has been a part of our Christmas season ever since.

Visit the Advent Conspiracy website and learn more about the movement and how your family can be encouraged and challenged.  The website is full of information, video links, and pretty amazing resources for making this Christmas season the best ever!

The North Point Advent Conspiracy Plan

It’s really been pretty simple over the years.  Spend less money on ourselves during the Christmas season (because we all have more than enough)…and give some of that money away to people and organizations that really need it.  

Each year, the North Point Advent Conspiracy Team (a small group of good-hearted volunteers) has put together a list of people and organizations that would benefit by a generous financial gift.  Then we challenged the North Point family to give toward a financial goal of at least $25,000 during the Christmas season.  A worthy goal.

Some people give monthly to AC, above and beyond their regular offerings.  Others give a percentage of what they would normally spend during the season.  Still other families come up with creative ways to spend less (on themselves) and give more to others.  And we do this all together.  As North Point.

This year.  In light of the current general budget crunch North Point is experiencing, we decided to take the focus away from a large financial goal for Advent Conspiracy, in order to make sure general giving stays our priority.

We are encouraging our entire church family to each give a modest financial Christmas gift to Advent Conspiracy which will be divided between just four or five of the mission organizations we have supported in the past.

Make sure you stop by the display in the main lobby to read about where the Christmas gifts are going or take some time and check them out on the web!
