Halloween Ideas for You

by Greg Stoughton

There are plenty of ideas on how to use Halloween to build relational bridges with non-believers or to communicate the message of Christ.

Here are a few suggestions for before, during or after the fall event.

Before Halloween

  • Involve Your Family
  • Talk about the darker elements
Note: If providing a tract, be extra-generous with your treat. You might even consider taping any material resources to a full-size chocolate bar. It is not the time to be frugal, and it is likely that many may come to your door that you do not yet know.
  • Host a pre-Halloween, student-led outreach Costume Theme Party and Contest Cru High School

On Halloween Day

  • Distribute resources with plentiful amounts of candy
  • Trick or treat with a non-believer
  • Stage a Trunk or Treat
  • Show a Video
  • Gather names

After the Event

  • Pray
  • Debrief with your family

Since 1951, Cru has helped individuals who grapple with integrating faith into daily life by offering practical steps and community support. As a result, countless people in over 190 countries have been empowered to move from passive belief to active faith.
