• The music is too loud or too soft
• The clothes are too casual or too formal
• The preaching is too emotional or too academic
• The pastor is too unavailable or too hands-on
• The building is too ornate or too bland
• The liturgy is too old or too new
• The ethnic mix is too homogenous or too diverse
• The vibe is too corporate or too quirky
• The mission is too inward-focused or too outward-focused
