I think If you say, "We have been going to the church (regularly) since that day or since, say, 20th of Nov, 2012", It's clear that when you started to go to or to attend the church, It's clear that you still go to the church.

We could also use the present perfect tense and say, "We have gone to or attended the church since....".

You don't need commas.

You attend church, not attend the church, because you attend the service, not the building.
________

From that day on we started attending church. ~ You kept on starting again and again during the whole period from that day until the present. Why did you keep starting when you only had to start once?

From that day on we have been attending church. ~ Starting that day we have attended church regularly until the present. (This is the one you want.)
