Welcome to the Domino Day Church Host Toolkit! This resource is designed to help you host a powerful and impactful screening of “The Domino Revival” film on April 11th. While we’ve provided guidelines and suggestions based on prior screenings, we understand that each church is unique. We encourage you to adapt these recommendations to fit your specific congregation, facility, and ministry style. The framework presented here is flexible—customize it to align with your church’s culture, available resources, and the needs of your community. Our prayer is that this toolkit serves as a helpful starting point as you prepare to participate in this nationwide movement of revival and spiritual awakening!
