Back to Church Sunday 2026: There’s a Place for You Here
Have you been thinking about coming back to church?
Maybe it’s been a few weeks. Maybe it’s been a few years.
Perhaps you’ve been meaning to visit Open Arms Community Church but just haven’t found the right Sunday. Or maybe you’ve been looking for a church where you can ask questions, make friends, and discover what following Jesus is really about.
Back to Church Sunday is the perfect opportunity to take that first step.
On Sunday, September 20, churches across the country will be welcoming people who are looking for a fresh start. At Open Arms Community Church, we’d love to welcome you.
Why Back to Church Sunday?
Life has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions.
Schedules get busy. Difficult seasons come. Sometimes church simply falls out of our routine. Other times, people stay away because they’re carrying hurt, disappointment, or the feeling that they wouldn’t fit in anymore.
The good news is that Jesus has always welcomed people exactly where they are.
You don’t have to have your life together before you walk through the doors. You don’t have to know all the answers. You don’t even have to know what to expect.
Just come.
A New Chapter for Open Arms
This year makes Back to Church Sunday especially meaningful for us.
After months of preparing our new upstairs worship space and making it accessible for everyone, we’re excited to welcome our community into a space designed with one purpose in mind: making room for more people to experience the love of Jesus.
The building may be new, but our mission hasn’t changed.
We’re still real people helping people become more like Jesus as a family.
Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or returning after being away for years, there’s a place for you here.
What to Expect
When you visit Open Arms Community Church, you’ll find:
- Friendly people who are genuinely glad you’re here.
- Practical, Bible-centered teaching.
- Worship that points people toward Jesus.
- A safe, fun environment for kids.
- Coffee, conversation, and people who care.
Come as you are. Dress however you’re comfortable. No one expects you to have everything figured out.
