The Nativity Glory tree, expertly decorated by the volunteers and team members at The Salvation Army of Collier County, raised nearly $18,000 for their Christian-based work in 2025. Proceeds came from a combination of tree sales and private donations surrounding the event.

Only 40 Spots Available!
We invite you to help us create Jesus-themed Christmas trees as a canvas to share the Gospel and tell people the Good News about Jesus – his life, parables, words and ministry.
The trees will be showcased and auctioned at the Festival with 100% of proceeds benefiting a mission, ministry or Christian non-profit of the design team’s choice.
In 2026, we’re creating a strong showcase of testimonials about God’s Work through His Servants in Action — the 30+ benefitting organizations we support.
Help us Exalt Jesus as We Honor and Serve Christian Missions and Ministries.
Here's how it works:
Gather: A group of friends, neighbors, co-workers, your Sunday school class, your non-profit board, your church ministry team – Have fun!
Plan your tree & pick your theme: Use a Christmas Tree as a canvas to tell people about Jesus – His life, words, parables, ministry and the Good News.
Select a beneficiary. 100% of tree proceeds go to the beneficiary Christian mission or ministry of your team’s choice. This includes 100% tree silent auction proceeds and 100% public donations collected through the festival website.
Create a video testimonial: Honor the work of the Christian mission or ministry you want to support; Or ask the beneficiary organization to provide one to go with your tree. We've got talented volunteers ready to help!
Make your tree unique: make the ornaments, engage an artist or an interior designer, do-it-yourself, search for unique décor, upcycle, use scripture verses! Attend a design workshop to learn pro-tips.
Write your Jesus Story Card: We publish this with your tree and in our commemorative book. Go for impact! See guidelines & samples.
Have fun: Bring a team to decorating day & enjoy the fellowship!
Promote your tree & maximize impact! Secure financial support for an opening $500 bid for your tree & work closely with your beneficiary organization to maximize donor outreach. We’re here to help! We’ll share your tree with our 10k+ social media following and through other outreach channels.
***OPTIONAL***
Roots & Growth: We’re encouraging churches and beneficiary organizations to create Bible studies/ sermon series based on the Jesus Tree their supporters create: Consider inviting members of the public to attend at churches or other public venues after the festival. How can you use your tree to answer the call of the Great Commission? What will you tell people about Jesus?
To the glory of God and our Savior, Jesus Christ
