The standard of living is the highest in the world and there are more people present in the country than ever before. Yet, Gallup poll studies and polls (from The People’s Religion) conclude that Americans are among the loneliest people in the world. How can this be?
To find the answer, all you have to do is examine our daily lifestyle. It simply presents major obstacles to community. We’re so busy being over-committed, many of us don’t know some of our neighbors’ names. Nor do we feel like we want to, because after all, we don’t have time to “waste” on those relationships. Heck, we barely have the time to maintain the relationships that are most important to us while still accomplishing our own individual pursuits.
There’s no available hours
The average American lifestyle comes complete with long commutes, 9 to 10-hour workdays, rear-entry garages, privacy fences, air conditioning, TV, home offices, frozen dinners, house and lawn care, children’s sports, school and church activities, and life with family and friends – among other things.
When you add it all together, there’s no available hours left over. Even if there were, those you would spend time with have the same problem. Occasionally fellowship time between families is set aside, but this usually requires planning for well in advance and is used for relationship maintenance (catching up), not relationship building.
Church members are no different
You would think that the loneliness would be avoided among Christians who attend church. But, the physical distance between church members’ homes, the infrequency of meetings, and the over-committed lifestyles of the members (causing inconsistent attendance) results in a lack of connection that needs to be present to combat it.
Isolation rules
The lifestyle that has been built in America discourages community, allowing isolation to rule our neighborhoods. In the coming weeks, we’re going to talk about the obstacles to community created by our lifestyle and what it would take to overcome them. Restructuring one’s lifestyle is not easy. In fact, I believe it ranks up there with some of the hardest things you can face. But, if your hope for Christian community is going to be realized in your life, it will be necessary.

Mike Fleming is the creator of Finding Healthy Church. Over 20 years ago, he was sparked by the frustration of failing to experience what the biblical story claimed a healthy church was like. He caught a vision and passion for seeing local churches be what they were designed by God to be. He shares what he's learning along the way so the health of local churches around the world are improved. He’s currently working on an eye-opening book that will help better understand what it means for a church to be healthy.
Good thoughts, Mike. I’m looking forward to read more as you unpack this over the next few posts.
This is something we’ve talked about before (a few times). For me, I’ve struggled to find intentional community within a church building. There seems to be a lot of disconnect, and as you mentioned people (myself included) are strapped for time.
I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

Good thoughts, Mike. I’m looking forward to read more as you unpack this over the next few posts.
This is something we’ve talked about before (a few times). For me, I’ve struggled to find intentional community within a church building. There seems to be a lot of disconnect, and as you mentioned people (myself included) are strapped for time.
I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.

As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

Good thoughts, Mike. I’m looking forward to read more as you unpack this over the next few posts.
This is something we’ve talked about before (a few times). For me, I’ve struggled to find intentional community within a church building. There seems to be a lot of disconnect, and as you mentioned people (myself included) are strapped for time.
I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.

As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.
There are a few elements I see as big obstacles for community lifestyle: time (obviously), commitment/intentionality, willingness and distance. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about some of these!

Good thoughts, Mike. I’m looking forward to read more as you unpack this over the next few posts.
This is something we’ve talked about before (a few times). For me, I’ve struggled to find intentional community within a church building. There seems to be a lot of disconnect, and as you mentioned people (myself included) are strapped for time.
I’ve also found, church as an organization with a building and scheduled meeting times, distracted with maintaining the organization. Much time and many resources are put into keeping the organization functioning.
As a single person, I feel overlooked in the “church,” unless of course I sign-up to participate in the “singles group.” Outside of the church I feel singleness has an advantage. I’m able to flex my time and spend it with people whose time isn’t as flexible. It helps me be able to maintain somewhat deeper relationships. Though, I often feel like I’m bouncing around to do so. And as you might guess, spread too thin.

Annalisa – great points, all of which contribute to the reasons institutional-type churches simply aren’t structured as places where close-knit community is possible, as I’ll break down in future posts.
What’s ironic about having to “sign up” for community at church through special-interest groups (the special interest being age and other commonalities) is that they actually work against community being established. While a measure can be experienced, you only get to true close-knit biblical Kingdom organic community when your meeting together isn’t determined by what you have in common (singleness, age, race and all other characteristics we use to divide).
Yeah, I can see how that would work against community. After all, our culture feeds off of individuality. There is no unity in division 🙂 I will say, it is more comfortable to be in a homogeneous subgroup, but not how we were intended to do life.
