When you serve others, you are serving God.
Matthew 25:40
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

90% of Churches aren't serving God.
Serving God has nothing to do with Church built by man.
ACTS 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
Acts 17:24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
Isaiah 66:1 This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?
2 Corinthians 5:1 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Man has turned the Church into a money raising center just like the Temple when Jesus turned
over tables and ran out the moneychangers and corrupt peddlers from the temple.
Mark 7:9 And he (JESUS) said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Man has made his own rules and laws for following Christ Jesus. And Jesus said man's tradition more powerful than the word of God.
People are told when where and how they must worship and what to wear and what to do and how much to GIVE>

When one gets down to it, serving the Church is serving God. Because God through Jesus established the Church. One can not separate the two.

in the book of acts it tells us that on the day of the Pentecost
Peter the other disciples and all those who gathered and believed became the first church so u should still attend church but remember the church isn't a building, Bibles, music, or Sunday schools classes, but rather it is a gathering of people to worship the Lord
Always serve the Lord first and foremost.
And you are right going to church does not make you a Christian. to be a Christian you must believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior and that he died on the cross for your sins and was raised to life three days later.

I believe you don't have to go to church to serve God. I go to church and feel as if I'm not getting enough out of it. I serve God only, not the church.
