Inviting someone to church can be a meaningful gesture, and there are several ways to make the invitation feel genuine. You can start a conversation by asking open-ended questions about their past experiences with church and whether they might be interested in attending a service. Take the time to explain what they can expect, such as the atmosphere and message, to help them feel more comfortable.

Another option is to send a message, such as a text, with the service details, including the date, time, and location. You can include an invitation for them to RSVP or simply let you know if they’d like to join.

Writing a letter is also a thoughtful approach. Address the person by name, include all the important details about the service, and use warm, encouraging language to make them feel welcome. Be sure to thank them for considering your invitation and express that you’d love to see them there.

No matter how you choose to invite someone, focus on being welcoming and understanding. Let them know what to expect so they feel at ease, and don’t take it personally if they say no. Following up later shows that you care and keeps the door open for future opportunities. Being genuine, patient, and kind can make all the difference.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Newton Baptist Church would  like to invite you to join us at church every Sunday and Wednesday (and other times and events during the week) to experience the life-changing love and redemption found in Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice on the cross, He took on our sins and offers us forgiveness, hope, and eternal life.

Come as you are and discover the incredible grace and peace that only He can give.

Newton Baptist Church is blessed to have a ministry that fits every aspect of your family.  If you want to see all that we offer, check out our Calendar of Events here. We look forward to seeing you and your family!

We are located close to I-20 off the Almon Exit here in Covington. We would love to meet you and have you join us in our service.
