text: if you don't go to church every sunday does that mean you are not a christian? i am asking this questions because most people have to work and stuff and dont really have time for church every sunday. whether or not you go to church has nothing to do with your salvation, nor does it make you any less of a christian.  it's good for believers to fellowship with other believers, but that exchange can happen anywhere (work, school, etc).  the church itself refers to people--people make up a church; the building is just a place for the church to gather.  god doesn't love people worshiping at bedside baptist any less than people meeting at an actual building.
