First Baptist Church in Kingsville is participating in Back to Church Sunday, a national movement of churches to encourage formerly churched people to reDiscover church and try it again.

The church is inviting former church attendees and community members to rediscover church at 10:45 a.m. on Sept. 12 at the corner of third and King Street.

According to LifeWay Research, 38 percent of people are receptive or highly receptive to attending church. About 82 percent say they would be open to attending church if a friend invited them.

But, unfortunately only 21 percent of active church-going Christians invited someone to church last year.

First Baptist Church is joining with thousands of churches to help change those statistics by inviting everyone to attend church on Sept. 12, 2010.
