I think mostly people just get bored of the boring things we do at church.
Quite often we put the wrong people in positions, due to a lack of prayer and listening to God, but then the people who are in these positions of leadership (whether right or wrong) just don't put in the effort that they should. It makes 'church' (not just Sunday services, but everything associated to the 'church') boring!!
Children leave church because the children's stories may just be a monotonal story read from a book that they can't even see the pictures, or that an adults Bible study is un-organised or irregular so they never know if it is on if they could be bothered wasting another night of their busy schedule.
Are you responsible for showing Jesus to someone? Are you a sectional leader of your Church?
Are you giving your best - the best that Jesus deserves?? I pray you are inspired enough - if not, you clearly aren't spending time DAILY in with Jesus and reading the word - am I right?
Get close to Jesus, get excited, tell the world...
"So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them."
Mark 5:20

Man, do I feel told off!
I think you could start a christian motivational ministry or something Simon.
You have a real empathetic approach.
Anon. (trying to do his best)
I can't quite tell if there is sarcasm in there!
Life's too short to be doing a 'good enough' job or if we just tell everyone they're doing everything in their' ministries 'well enough'.
Empathetic you say, I hope not!!
Many people will die today, will they know Jesus? I want to have put in enough effort that it counts for something, something in terms of eternity.
Don't feel told off, just lift your game if you feel guilty. I'm glad your trying to do your best though! That's all you can do.
