How can we get our members back to our church?

As a Pastor I have experienced the same thing and even thought that perhaps God was just cleaning house for some new arrivals. In all honesty after I got my pride and bull headiness out of the way I realized that I had made mistakes in the way I treated people. I was to busy judging them instead of sharing God's Word with them and letting the Holy Spirit do HIS JOB. I naturally don't know if this is the problem at your church or not, however I would suggest some deep soul searching and prayer to find out what GOD wants for your church.  May God Bless.

find a church that don't care about spelling , then admit that you aren't willing to work for a living. If this works- post their address, it will boost their membership.

I would pray for them, talk to them to try and convince them to stop, and the church would do the same (at least mine would and all the other true Christ following ones). Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

Good luck!  I'm interested in the same thing where I live.  It's good to know that there are people out there in the same situation.  Sorry I can't be much help though.  The only thing I can think of would be to talk to local churches in your community and see if they would be willing to help out or if they would know how to go about it.  I wish you well.

The best way is to get them into a good church.

a lot of churches will baptize children, the church of Christ insist on it.\nif your current church puts you down, then change churches.\nlife is too short.

Just pray for them...\n...whether they go or not,, it is our faith that is important... \nyeah yeah,, i see Christians don't go to church, i see Christians drink,  parties,  swear ,,, and then?? don't go to church because of them doing this?? \n\n  Are you going to church because of them?? do we go to church because the church is popular ? or we go there because we want to worship, pray and give thanks and listens to preach the word of GOD?? \n  yes blame it to people,,  and where is the faith?

If you can't find one, start one yourself. Go to all the different Churches around you and see if you can find others that are interested.

might try asking your pastor or whoever is marring you.

That's a good question.  I couldn't find the answer online.  My advice is to either visit another church and ask them or visit a nearby government building (state capitol, city hall...) and ask them.  Somebody should know.

Trust in the Lord Jesus to lead you. \nA good start is pray.\nAnd how would you like to be welcome if you was being welcome to that church.

People Don't give him grief give him an answer!!!! I suggest going to your old church building on Sunday,(9:00, 11:00 or 1:00) find an old friend and ask them where to go, before you know it you'll be back in the swing of things!! As far as punishment, none, at least that depends on the people of your ward. Some wards are full of real jerks and if you miss one day they stare at you all the time. But we will not hang you by your thumbs or anything like that. the only punishment you really get is the grief that the anti-Mormons on this site will give you, just ignore them they haven't even been to a meeting, they don't know what their talking about.

I'm not sure when it comes to other countries, but being in a large city there may be an archdiocese that can help or maybe another church in the area. Let me know how it turns out.  Congratulations!!!

this is common in every church and organization.  people who have the money, have power in those settings.  If this was particularly obvious and cumbersome in your church, then be proactive--for real.  talk to the minister and see if he/she would address the issue.\n\nyou may want to go to a different church-but you will find those types of people everywhere, some less obvious and kinder though.

One pastor once told me: people are like sheep and where sheep are, stinks.\n\nWhile there will be people in churches there will always be corruption, because we are human. We all should check the beam in our eyes.\n\nMy church also went through a church split but hey, no matter how many "crumbs" of churches are, the message of Salvation is still preached and in Heaven there will be no denominations, thank God.\n\nNevertheless, we are called to follow God, not a church, denomination, idea, book, man, etc. By prayer we will know which church we should go to and if we are kicked out - hey, there are LOTS of churches out there! \n\nJust pray about where God wants you to be.
