You don't need to tip toe around her. You need to firmly state: "I have told you countless times I do not want to go to church. If you would like to continue our friendship, you will not disrespect me or my decisions by constantly countering them, because true friends accept each other for who they are. I haven't asked you to give up your religion."
Or something to that effect.
I like the sentiment here, but personally would have to be more playful with my response. Something along the lines of:
"I'll consider going if God, without an intermediary, extends a personal invitation."
