You may be asking, “So, I’ve invited my friend to church and they came, but did not receive Christ … what do I do now?” How to follow-up after inviting someone to church? You may have invited them time after time and they never respond to the Gospel.
Times like this cause us to doubt our ability to impact the world, doubt whether or not the other person will ever change, and maybe even doubt whether or not God will ever save the person we so desperately want to see surrender his or her life to Him. DO not despair: you can follow-up after inviting someone to church.
Follow-up After Inviting Someone to Church
1. Don’t Give Up on Them!
I often say on this website that God was patient with us (II Peter 3:9); therefore, we should be patient with others.
It was God’s kindness that led us to Him (Romans 2:4); therefore, we should know it will be our kindness (not our condemnation) that will lead others to Him as well.

They may not have received Christ at the service; however, we never know what God is doing in someone’s heart. It’s in times like this we need to lean into Ecclesiastes 3:11 and know that Jesus really does make all things beautiful in His time.
- Keep asking God to give you opportunities to talk to them about Him.
- Keep inviting them to church.
- Keep being their friend.
You never know what God is up to.
