A simple act. A big impact.

Neighbor Invite is a done-for-you flyer distribution campaign designed to help churches reach their local communities in an easy, effective way. This resource equips churches with everything they need to mobilize volunteers, invite neighbors, and extend a warm, personal invitation to church.

Included in this campaign are three key videos—an Announcement Video to generate excitement, an Ask Video to recruit volunteers, and a Training Video to equip participants with practical steps. Each video is designed to be engaging, modern, and easy to share, whether in a weekend service, on social media, or directly with volunteers.

This campaign makes it simple for churches to organize outreach efforts while ensuring volunteers feel confident and prepared. With clear guidance, strategic messaging, and all necessary materials, Neighbor Invite helps churches take a small step that God can use to make a big difference.

A Quick Note on Flyer & Door Hanger Distribution

Before launching your Neighbor Invite Campaign, it’s important to make sure your outreach follows local guidelines. Door hangers are widely accepted in both the U.S. and Canada and are a great way to invite neighbors. However, placing flyers directly in mailboxes is regulated by federal law and is not permitted in many areas.

Additionally, some neighborhoods—especially those with Homeowners Associations (HOAs) or specific local bylaws—have flyer or door hanger distribution restrictions. These rules vary widely, so it’s always best to check before distributing materials.

To ensure we’re good neighbors and above board:

• Check local regulations on flyer and door hanger distribution.
• Look up HOA rules for any neighborhoods you’re covering.
• Do a quick web search for your city’s or municipality’s specific guidelines.
• If in doubt—use door hangers! They are widely accepted and effective.

A little research upfront helps ensure your invitations reach people the right way, with respect and integrity. Happy inviting!
