“Come and see!” Philip to Nathanael, John 1:46

Back to Church Sunday is a movement that is inspiring millions of invitations just like Philip’s.

Back to Church Sunday is an annual event that has successfully equipped thousands of churches with an easy way to increase their reach into their communities. Last year, over 7600 churches participated from over 34 known denominations.

Back to Church Sunday is a movement that churches of any denomination can embrace, churches of any size can benefit from, and people of any age can participate in!

 It’s simple – All churches, one date, one clear message – come back to church!

  • It’s grassroots – It’s powered by the people, not a program
  • It’s a catalyst – Pastors give a call to action; communities have a rallying point
  • It empowers – People are energized by an inspiring event and easy-to-use invitations
  • It’s free – Churches don’t have to buy anything or use any of our resources – it’s simply a great idea that works by just doing it!

How can this help my denomination?

Back to Church Sunday is an ideal tool for your denomination to provide to your member churches. The campaign empowers church members with the tools they need to welcome their neighbors, friends and loved ones back to church.  We’re excited to invite your whole denomination to join this cause—modeling Christ’s call of unity within the Body and welcoming people Back to Church.

Can one day really make a difference?

Absolutely. Churches who participated in Back to Church Sunday saw a 26% increase in their weekend attendance!  Here’s what one pastor shared:

“Our ‘Back to Church Sunday’ worship service turned out to be our single most attended worship service of the year…God moved on the hearts of our members to really catch the simple and age-old concept and to commit time praying for the ones they would invite…our attendance is over 20% higher than this period last year!  God worked in us as we prayed for our invitees…as they received our invitation cards, door-hangers and word-of-mouth invitations.”
