There is lots of things right with setting aside a service that focuses on non-Christians. There are lots of hours left in a week (and on Sunday) to have a service focused on Christians. You have that backwards, Pastor.
One hour a week for worship among a congregation of like-minded Christians who know whom they have believed and why they're sitting in those pews.
Every other hour of every day of the week can be given to anything and everything else.
One hour a week.
I think God expects that much of us.

Our services tend to last an hour and forty five minutes. It doesn't seem so long though, because once we get past announcements and into worship it's very moving.

That way only the "true believers" that know all the secret signs and handshakes will be able to participate. No "visitors" allowed or expected.

Based on your response, I'm not sure you have correctly read what I wrote.

Why can't that hour be on Saturday night or Wednesday night or Saturday morning? Why does it have to be on Sunday morning at a time when unbelievers (seekers) normally expect church to be and are most likely to come?
