This September, Hillside Assembly of God will join thousands of churches nationwide for Back to Church Sunday. Hillside will mark the day with a special service, including a children’s program on the lower level, followed by refreshments and a time of fellowship. Everyone is welcome.
“With recent studies showing that loneliness is a growing issue in our culture, we want our community to know that our church—and really every church—is here as a resource, a place where people can connect, make friends, and find encouragement, support, and a sense of belonging to help navigate the ups and downs of life. Nobody should have to walk through life alone—we’re here for one another,” said Pastor Jonathan Carlson.
This year’s campaign carries the theme “Find Your Place.” We live in a world that is increasingly digital, transient, and lonely, and many of our neighbors are searching for belonging, purpose, and a community where they are known. We’re inviting our community to find their place here — to discover that they were never meant to do life alone.
The National Back to Church Sunday movement marks its seventeenth year in 2026 and continues to gain momentum. Since 2009, more than 5 million people have participated through 33,000 churches nationwide. Research shows that eight out of ten people say they are open to visiting church if invited — they are simply waiting for someone to ask.
Join us for Back to Church Sunday on Sunday, September 20th at 10:00 a.m. at Hillside Assembly of God church in Gillett.
