Join thousands of churches on Sunday,
September 12 to invite everyone in
America back to church!
List your church FREE on the national roster of participating Back to Church Sunday churches!
National Back to Church Sunday is a special day set aside each year on the second Sunday of September (September 12th in 2010) when thousands of Bible-believing Christian churches encourage their members to invite their friends, family and neighbors back to church. Research shows that 82% of unchurched people are open to attending a church if invited by a friend, and yet only 2% of churchgoers invited someone to church in the past year. Back to Church Sunday provides the perfect opportunity for people everywhere to rediscover church and for those in church to take the opportunity to invite them.
Churches who particpated in last year's Back to Church Sunday event saw, on average, a 19% increase in attendance and some had larger attendance than their Christmas and Easter services!
The campaign is based on a simple idea: if you ask un-churched people to come with you to church, most likely they'll say yes. Statistics show that most people who don’t or no longer attend church simply haven’t made time for it—as Mark Batterson puts it, "Many de-churched people are a simple re-invitation away"!
