Faith Inkubators Advent: A Four-Week Advent-ure for All Ages
Faith Inkubators Advent invites your entire congregation—kids, teens, and adults—to journey together through a meaningful, four-week exploration of the signs pointing to the birth of Jesus.
Each week’s theme is grounded in the Revised Common Lectionary texts, making it easy to align with your worship planning.
FAITH5 Home Huddles provide a built-in home connection, encouraging families to continue the Advent conversation and spiritual growth throughout the week.
Your Advent-ure concludes with an optional, joy-filled all-ages celebration of Jesus’ birth—a meaningful way to bring your community together in worship and wonder.
Prepare Your Heart (Focus for Weeks 1 & 2)
Advent is a time of preparing our hearts for the coming of Jesus. In the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations, many people miss the reason for the season: Jesus! Christ comes most often in the unexpected. He comes in the quiet power of a helpless child; in the simple beauty of a young girl saying “yes“ to the mystery of God’s will; in a confused fiance’s willingness to believe and protect a pregnant teenager; in the Baptist’s call to repent and prepare for the Holy Spirit and fire. This season, pause and watch for Jesus to show up in surprising places!
Prepare Your Home (Focus for Weeks 3 & 4)
The liturgical color of Advent is blue. It is the color of hope. In ancient Israel, God's people in captivity and under occupation often felt hopeless and abandoned. The prophets foretold the birth of a coming of the Messiah. Then came Jesus! Mary and Joseph heard the amazing words of hope from an angel. The shepherds heard it, too, from a choir of angels. During this season of hope and expectation, take a little time every night in your home to pause, reflect and prepare for the joy, the peace, and the hope that Jesus will bring.
Faith Inkubators Advent 2025: Practicing Faith at Church and at Home
At the heart of Faith Inkubators Advent 2025 is FAITH5—a simple, life-giving five-step faith practice that brings people closer to one another and to God.
Each week, FAITH5 shapes the Small Group Time at church, creating space for meaningful connection, reflection, and spiritual growth.
But it doesn’t stop there.
FAITH5 Home Huddles extend the experience beyond Sunday, encouraging families to gather each night and walk through the five steps together:
STEP 1: SHARE your highs and lows
STEP 2: READ a Bible verse or story
STEP 3: TALK about how the Bible reading might relate to your highs and lows
STEP 4: PRAY for one another’s highs and lows
STEP 5: BLESS one another
By modeling FAITH5 in church and encouraging it in the home, this Advent resource helps your congregation live out faith “Every Week at Church and Every Night in Every Home.”
