The network announced the series renewal and season two will air in 2015. The series premiered in June of 2014 and follows Christian congregations across the U.S. in a matchmaking endeavor to help one unattached fellow congregant find his or her partner. Natalie Grant serves as host for each one-hour episode which features a church from a different region of the country. In its first season, the show garnered more than seven million viewers.

"So excited to be back with It Takes A Church for a second season," Grant commented, adding, " I'm honored to be a part of this sweet, family-friendly show, and love watching church congregations acknowledge their single members in a whole new way!"
