What has been your past experience in local church attendance? Explain the positive and the negative.
-
I’ve always been a part of some sort of corporate body of the church. I’ve experienced or witnessed MANY of the both positive and negatives that come with that, from a human side. I think that as a whole, many times we approach church attendance more of a social setting than of an actual worship setting, however.

Have always gone. Had to leave the Episcopal when they started rewriting scripture to fit culture changes 15 years ago or so. Overall a positive experience now.
-
I enjoy the fellowship of other believers and getting to watch other people worship God, but sometimes being so involved becomes like a job.
-
Community, fellowship, teaching, serving.

In one church I attended for many years, the attendance continued to drop when the pastor retired. The leadership of the church was not strong enough to hold it together. The focus became about money. In another church, the one I attend now, the focus is on the people, serving the Lord, and making disciples. The church attendance continues to grow and is a very positive atmosphere.
