4 Easy & Effective Ways to Invite Friends to Easter Church Services This Year
Easter is one of the most powerful weekends of the year—a time filled with hope, joy, and life-change. It’s also one of the easiest times to invite someone to church. Many people are already thinking about attending a service... they just need a friendly invitation from you to make it happen.
If you’ve ever wanted to invite someone but weren’t sure how, or worried it would feel awkward, we’ve got you covered. Here are four simple and effective ways to invite your friends, coworkers, neighbors, or family members to join you at Easter this year at View Church:
1. Send a Quick Text or DM 💬
You don’t need to plan a whole speech—just be real. A short, friendly message can open the door. Here’s a sample you can copy and paste:
“Hey! Our church is doing something really special for Easter. It’s super fun and meaningful, and I think you'd love it. Want to come with me?”
Got friends with kids? Make their first-time visit even easier by including this pre-registration link for faster check-in!
2. Use Social Media Creatively 🤳
People are already scrolling—why not use it as an invitation tool? Share View Church’s Easter promo on your story, post a photo of your family in their Sunday best, or tag someone you’d love to bring. Keep it personal and fun.
You could write something like:
“We can’t wait for Easter at @viewchurch! If you’re looking for a place to celebrate, come with us 🙌”
3. Make It a Whole Experience 🍽️
A church service + a shared meal = a powerful invitation. Invite your friend or family to join you for Easter at View, then host brunch afterward or grab coffee together. When people feel included in your life—not just your Sunday schedule—it builds trust and openness.
4. Take Out the Awkward 🚙
For a lot of people, showing up to a new place alone is the biggest hurdle. Make it easy by offering to drive together, save them a seat, or meet them in the parking lot. Removing that first layer of uncertainty makes all the difference.
