“Number of participating churches doubles for National Back To Church Sunday” www.Backtochurch.com

More than 7,600 churches from 34 denominations opened their doors to an estimated 250,000 visitors during National Back To Church Sunday, held September 18.

Twice as many churches as last year participated in what has become the single, largest cross-denominational outreach initiative in America. Churches responding to a post-event survey welcomed an average of 34 new visitors, an increase of 25.4 percent in weekly attendance.

Almost 95 percent of pastors surveyed said they would participate again in National Back To Church Sunday, which will be held next on September 16, 2012.
