"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"
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?
Why can't it be at a different time on Sunday?
Why can't it be the 8 PM or 12 noon service instead of the 10:30?
Or, as you suggest, at some other point in the week.
Maybe every other Tuesday, after the car wash and before "24" reruns.
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?
Do the two services have to be so different? Can't a "seeker" get something from a good sermon and Scriptural worship?
Does everything have to be deconstructed to the lowest common denominator?
