Quiet time you say? Will that quiet time you're having solve that problem, provide food or heal your sickness?
You dont need a church to do that for you. I knew questions like this will come, so i was prepared:

See my thread on Why Christians / Believers Should Not Attend Church

Funny, that is my favorite quote "Never say never, never say die".

You need to be flogged. But i am not interested in church again, i prefer to fellowship with believers, but organized churches just dont go well with me unlike before.
but seriously you make sense..simply having fellowship wiv believers is more better dan attending church..at least in my case.
And whatever i want to acquire in church..i mean spiritually..i should also be able to acquire in my quiet time with God..church or not.
Re: What Makes You Go To Church? by djeezy(m): 12:29pm On Oct 28, 2012
I go to church to praise and worship God, not forgetting to give thanks to Him. In all you do give thanks to the Lord. That's my chief reason, all other reasons may suffice.

Thank you very much.

Here are four main points that will be covered in this article
1. "Worship" is a service, not a ritual. Those who "attend church" and imitate Old Testament worship patterns generally neglect the New Testament commands to exhort one another daily (Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25).

2. The Old Testament looks forward to the Age in which all men would worship God everywhere, and not just in that "place which the LORD your God shall choose" (Deuteronomy 12:11). The New Covenant priesthood is decentralized and universalized, not restricted to the "ordained" and the church traditions of men.

3. Exhortation is conversational, not sermonic. Preaching means dialogue, not a monologue. Rather than being equipped by New Testament-style exhortation and service, church-goers can become impotent and dependent upon a credentialed "professional" who engages in statism.

4. Fellowship is best accomplished in homes, not in pews. In "church" the "dignity" of priestly pomp and "worship" is substituted for the personal, house-to-house communion pictured in the Scriptures (Acts 2:46). A military-style symbol of a meal, and a view of the back of someone's head, is substituted for a genuine meal and a time of face-to-face fellowship.

These four points are very plainly at odds with most every church in the country. But the point is not simply to be different, nor to insult all other churches. The purpose is to analyze apparently "obvious" traditions in the light of the Scriptures (Acts 17:11).

My former church was closed because of boko haram. Since then, i only go to other churches once in awhile, but the evil i see in these churches scare me, and i had to stop and only go for fellowships. It looks like DEVIL IS LIVING INSIDE NIGERIAN CHURCHES.

I go to church because of a solemn worship i.e I love cool Organ voice and Hymns coupled with a sharp word of God that doesnt spare the lowly and the mighty.

Dr.Gboy:
There are so many reasons why people go to church,most of them are genuine while others are adamant to the main purpose of d church.
Below are d reasons why most people go to church

2. To show off dancing skills
3. To meet that special someone
4. To make new friends
5. To judge other people clothings
6. To relax( if there is AC)
7. To improve your talent

Ok i'd say 'yes', going to church doesn't necessarily do all that for you, but i'll also say it depends on what you went to church for, 'Are you there to seek God's face, or just because you're a christian'? It so depends, cos i don't see quiet time doing much help other than mind relaxation.

I think going to church offers a lot more, except you don't believe in God, there's something special about HIS presence, if you went there to worship HIM, that is.
