That's a really sad and self centered view of what it means to be a church. That's probably the same mindset a lot of youth have that end up leaving.

Church..we are the church. Our mission is not to sit on pews and get bored with the same message. I go to church meetings to SUPPORT what we are doing, which is trying to reach the lost, staying "fit" so that I can be always ready for God to use me, ministering to someone OTHER than myself...worshipping and or praising God in unity with others...which is exercising what it means to be one body in Christ, the operation of the gifts of the Spirit to the edifying of the body and supporting the preaching of the word.

Very often one does not have to go out side to reach the lost....they are often in our own backyards. I have taught many bible studies to folks that just visit our services.

Coop....when church is all about you I can see how hearing everything that needs to be heard might be a reason to attend less services...

What about your family? Your children?

BTW Church should be every day. I believe families need to have church at home between services with prayer and some bible reading. It does not have to consume an hour or even half an hour, but it should be consistant
