Pure Religion Sunday is a day of unity to reflect God’s heart for the orphaned and vulnerable on the first Sunday in November and throughout the year.
Rooted in James 1:27 and reflected throughout all of Scripture, this special day encourages your church to engage deeply in adoption, foster care, global orphan care and wrap-around family support — central to living as disciples of Christ. Churches in over 120 countries that have witnessed the transformative power of this day to catalyze action and celebrate all that God is doing in their communities on behalf of vulnerable children and families.
But Pure Religion Sunday is not a one-size-fits-all event. Think of it like a tub of Legos—you can borrow tools and ideas from others, then snap the pieces together in ways that fit your church’s unique rhythms, culture, and needs.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Gabe Forsyth at Mosaic Church, who shares how his church has leveraged Pure Religion Sunday over the years and the impact it has had on their culture. You’ll also hear from Lisa Robertson at HopeBridge in Ohio, who explains how the day has helped their organization engage local churches in meaningful, lasting ways.
You’ll come away with practical ideas and fresh inspiration to make Pure Religion Sunday your own—crafting something deeply meaningful for your congregation that ultimately rallies the people of God to make a bigger difference for children and families in your community.
