It makes no difference. The Church is not a building. The Church is people.

Although it should make no difference, but honestly I feel more religious in an old church building. Don't know why.

The building itself makes no difference, i have been in quite a few old and new buildings.
The people and how they live and worship make all the difference.
I attended a Church that was and still is very beautiful and well kept. It however, has less than 25 attendance. They worship God in word and themselves in deed.
I love attending a church where people have a heart for God and his word. It fills this broken vessel on a continual basis and I do appreciate that more than any building out there.
P.S. Look for a welcome mat with some wear to it. It means its being used!!!!

The church has never been a building, it refers to the body of believers. when we are together , we draw from one another. Where we are doesn't make a difference. where ever we gather in his name is a church.

I feel close to God in many places. Sitting reading a story book to my grand daughter, Feeling the wind in my face when I turn my boat to a new tact and feel the power He put into nature. I have never seen a more fantastic church than the one under the canopy of a starry night sky. Any place is a good place to worship my God...Jim

I think the older churches are magnificent! And instead of spending millions to build Superchurches. The money could be
better spent.

I'm an atheist either way. But an old church can be beautiful. A new one just makes me feel sad at all the wasted money that went into building it.

I don't know why, but I just feel more religious and closer to God in an old church.

No difference. The Church is the poeple and how commited they are to God for me. It isn't the building

It makes no difference...
THE God I'm talking to doesn't change with the buildings style or age anyway.
