When is it OK to quit church? Here are five reasons to leave

By Jim on Tue, 07/24/18
Fundamentalism & Evangelicalism
Leaving a Church

Americans treat church like a product to consume instead of as a family to belong. When we treat church like a product, we consume until our needs are no longer met. When we treat church like a family, we fundamentally understand there are no perfect churches. Like family, every church comes with broken people. That includes the church leadership.

  1. It’s OK to leave if God calls us to leave.

  2. It’s OK to leave for family and marriage.

  3. It’s OK to leave a church if you have moved too far away to conveniently drive to your church.
