Be the reason your city experiences The Chosen before anyone else.

Your church can host showings of The Chosen Season 6 before it is released to the public.

This is more than an early screening. It is a moment for your church to open its doors, gather your congregation, and invite your city into the story of Jesus.
Through this citywide campaign, local churches can become host locations for exclusive Season 6 showings of The Chosen, creating a simple, powerful opportunity for neighbors, friends, families, and spiritually curious people to encounter the Gospel in a fresh way.

Before the public release, your church can help lead the invitation. Together, churches across the city can turn a cultural moment into a shared mission: welcoming people in, sparking meaningful conversations, and helping them take their next step toward Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything pastors and church leaders need to know about Fayette County’s Back to Church Sunday initiative.

Back to Church Sunday is a unified, countywide invitation effort designed to help churches across Fayette County invite people back into Christian community on the same weekend.

Through direct mail, digital outreach, and personal invitations, we are working together to place an invitation into every home in the county and encourage believers to actively invite others into relationship with Christ and His Church.

Participating churches must:

  • Affirm the historic Christian faith as expressed in the Nicene Creed
  • Uphold in both word and practice the biblical ethic of marriage and sexuality
  • Complete the church opt-in form
  • Contribute $350 toward the campaign effort

Thanks to the generosity of CityReach and campaign partners, this amount covers only a portion of the actual outreach cost.

Scholarship assistance may be available for churches facing financial limitations.

Churches may email:

  • Inclusion on the public-facing church map
  • Countywide direct mail outreach
  • Social media graphics and communication tools
  • Yard signs and invite materials
  • Announcement and sermon resources
  • Access to pastor encouragement and soul-care resources
  • Ongoing communication and campaign coordination

Each invitation directs people via QR code to an interactive countywide church map where they can discover participating churches near them.

Visitors can filter churches by service times, ministries, programs, and more to help them find the right fit.

Each participating church receives a church profile that can include:

  • Church description
  • Address and directions
  • Service times
  • Website and contact information
  • Ministry offerings
  • Additional visitor information

Churches may also opt into Gloo’s free texting platform, which integrates with systems like CCB and other church management platforms. This allows potential visitors to text directly with your church.

We also strongly encourage churches to maximize local visibility through:

  • Street and building banners
  • Personal invitation cards for congregants
  • Yard signs
  • Our ready-made social media posting schedule

The goal is not simply mass awareness, but empowering believers to personally invite others into authentic Christian community.

The primary outreach strategy is a countywide direct mail campaign that places invitations into every home in Fayette County.

But even more importantly, this effort is designed to embolden believers to live as missional inviters in everyday life.

Our prayer is that congregations across the county would increasingly live out the simple invitation:

“Join me. I want you to encounter my King.”

The greatest impact happens when churches combine large-scale outreach with personal invitation.

The 7 Days of Prayer Initiative is a digital, countywide prayer movement leading up to Back to Church Sunday.

It is designed to unite churches in praying for one another, our neighbors, and the flourishing of Fayette County.

Beginning September 13, participants who opt in will receive a Scripture-guided prayer prompt by text each day at noon.

To participate, individuals can text:

“Fayette Prays” to 833-405-4302

Churches are welcome to share the initiative with their staff, leadership teams, or their entire congregation as a simple way to cultivate unity and prayer across the county.
