“Hey, how would you like to go to church with me this Sunday?”
Studies show that 82% of unchurched people would attend church if someone invited them! Yet fewer than 2% of Christians ever invite an unchurched person to come to church!
Journey Church is joining the National Back to Church Sunday movement to help "Invite America Back to Church."
Last year, 7600 churches from 34 denominations participated in the national movement, and together they gave out millions of invitations to church. This year, Journey Church is participating and we need your help!
Let’s reach out to our friends, family and neighbors. People need to know that there is hope and a community of people like our church who will love them and do life with them. Check out this promotional video for Back to Church Sunday:

Did you know that most people who have dropped out of church haven’t lost their faith in God—they simply fell out of the habit of going to church? Some moved, had a change in life circumstances, or had a falling out with their former church and simply drifted away. Most often, life just became too busy. This means many of them could be open to returning.
We encourage you to step out in faith and invite someone to rediscover church. We are planning a special service on September 16th so that our new guests will feel welcome and comfortable. Inviting a friend is a simple gesture that could change someone’s life. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to invite your friends and family to church with you.
We will be handing out invitations starting on September 2nd for you to deliver to your friends and family.
