and give every member a reason to extend an invitation!

Imagine what would happen if every member of your church invited one unchurched person to attend with them? This year, make it easy for them!

Back to Church Sunday is specifically designed to increase church attendance by creating a special service and then empowering church members with the tools they need to invite neighbors, friends and loved ones back to church.

Using these great resources for planning, promotion and execution your church can plan a Sunday that will excite your members, encourage invitation as well as welcome and connect visitors to your ministries.

The Statistics: “Most Americans have been to church and yet only 20 percent are regular attendees.”

The American Church in Crisis

“Only 2 percent of church members invite a unchurched person to church. 98% of church-goers never extend an invitation in a given year.”

Dr. Thom Rainer, President Lifeway Church Resources

Back to Church Sunday Can Help Your Church: “This resource will help you strategically reach out to those who have come and gone but might come back to your church. Many de-churched people are a simple re-invitation away.”

Mark Batterson, National Community Church, Washington

“It’s unfortunate that many people leave the church, but there is a large segment that will return. If you’re interested in learning how to get them back to church, I encourage you to check out this material. It will help you reclaim those who left and retain those who return.”

Sam Rainer, President Rainer Research & author of Essential Church

“What a great tool for reaching those who have become disconected from the local church. I pray that congregations all over the country take advantage of this campaign and reach those who know Christ but need a church home!”
