Your question touches on a feeling that some may experience, and it’s important to approach it with empathy and understanding. The Bible doesn’t directly address the concept of church being “boring,” but it does speak extensively about the purpose of gathering together as believers and how those gatherings should be conducted.

In the early church, believers met together regularly for teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). These gatherings were vital for the spiritual health and growth of the church. The writer of Hebrews admonishes believers not to give up meeting together, as some were in the habit of doing, but to encourage one another (Hebrews 10:25). These gatherings were characterized by a mutual edification, worship, and the sharing of spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 14:26).

If one finds church gatherings to be lacking in engagement or relevance, it might be helpful to reflect on the purpose of these gatherings and how one is participating in them. Are you engaged in the community, serving, and contributing your gifts for the edification of others? Are there aspects of the service—whether it be worship, teaching, or fellowship—that you feel could be more impactful, and have you shared these thoughts with church leadership in a constructive way?

It’s also worth considering that the act of worship and gathering itself is not solely for our personal entertainment or satisfaction but is an offering to God, an act of obedience, and a spiritual discipline that shapes us. Sometimes, the challenge lies in aligning our expectations with God’s purposes for the church.

Remember, the church is the body of Christ, and each member is a part of it (1 Corinthians 12:27). It’s within this body that we find spiritual growth, encouragement, and the means to serve others, fulfilling the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2). Approaching church with a heart open to what God is doing, and seeking ways to actively engage and contribute, might transform your experience and reveal the beauty and purpose of the church in a new light.
