About Faith Inkubators Advent 2026
Faith Inkubators Advent 2026 is a four-week, ecumenical, cross-generational Advent resource built on the Year B Revised Common Lectionary. Two two-week themes guide children, youth, adults, and older adults toward Christmas, with customizable PowerPoints, sermon aids, slide-by-slide leader guides, small-group handouts, skits, Bible verse songs with karaoke-style video and sheet music, home devotions, and the Advent-ure all-ages Christmas pageant script.
Think of it as a resource toolbox: use the complete series, add pieces to your existing Advent traditions, or pull only what you need. It also includes crafts, service projects, movement, and drama. It is intentionally not denomination-specific and is designed for mainline congregations, including Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, UCC, and Reformed churches.
The standalone congregation license is $74 and runs through January 31, 2027. Advent 2026 is also included at no additional charge with a Head to the Heart Confirmation 2026-2027 membership. Everything is digital, with instant access after you order.
