In 2025, most churches are investing heavily in digital tools — social media ads, live-streaming, websites, and apps. With so much focus on online outreach, it’s fair to ask: Do gospel tracts still work today?

The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, gospel tracts remain one of the simplest, most effective ways to spread the Good News — and they’re just as relevant now as they were hundreds of years ago.

Here’s why gospel tracts still matter in 2025, and how your church can share them in ways that connect with your community.

Screens dominate our daily lives — but physical print materials stand out. A gospel tract is something people can hold, keep, and return to later. While digital ads are gone in seconds, a tract often lingers on a nightstand, in a wallet, or tucked inside a Bible.

For just pennies per piece, your church can print hundreds or thousands of tracts. Unlike digital ads with rising costs, tracts are cost-effective and scalable — making them perfect for churches of all sizes.

Not everyone is ready for a deep conversation about faith. Tracts allow you to plant a seed without pressure. A smile, a handshake, and a small printed message can open doors that might otherwise stay closed.

A well-written tract doesn’t rely on clever marketing — it simply points people to God’s Word. In a culture hungry for truth, that clarity is powerful.

A conversation may last minutes, but a tract keeps speaking long after you’ve walked away. They often get shared from one person to another, multiplying your outreach in ways you may never see.

If gospel tracts are going to make an impact today, they need to be used with intentionality. Here are some proven strategies:

Slip a gospel tract inside your church’s invitation card or event flyer. This way, people get both a clear Gospel message and a personal invitation to join your community.

Festivals, fairs, sports events, and parades are prime opportunities to hand out tracts alongside water bottles, balloons, or church invites. These gatherings make outreach natural, not forced.

Every first-time guest at your church should leave with a gospel tract tucked inside a welcome packet. Even if they don’t return, the message of hope goes home with them.

Encourage your congregation to carry a few tracts with them daily. Grocery store clerks, baristas, neighbors — everyday encounters can become divine appointments when you’re prepared.
