No.

Isnt there something in the bible that says sinners should not go to church?

No there isn't. However, there is 1 Cor. 5 in which Paul handles the issue of the unrepetent sinner in church. "... but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning." 1 Cor. 5:12 (NLT)

[GAB-1955]

Absolutely not. The Apostle Paul states the people should examine their conscience before taking Holy Communion, but sinners are welcome in church, where they can hear the saving Word of God.

Well, there's definitely something about reproving and exhorting sinners. There doesn't seem to be much of that going on in Tiller's church.

"Hey George, how about not chopping up the little babies today, OK?"

Then the churches would be empty. There would be no need for the churches.

We are all sinners but not all of use have been redeemed.

[Elsiejay]

I worshipped today in the company of about 120 sinners, such as myself. For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. The GOOD NEWS is that I and my fellow worshipping sinners are, by the grace of God and through our faith in the redemptive and atoning work of His son Jesus, the Christ, also forgiven and redeemed sinners.

I am not called to pronounce a final judgement on the soul of Tiller. But I, and many others, are repelled and revulsed by the evil acts that he did, repeatedly and routinely.

actually, Jesus wanted sinners to go to church, so to speak....

but the caveat .."Go...and sin NO MORE"...

I think God forgives.....if one repents and does not repeat and repeat and repeat the sin...
