I will define them according to the Christian definition.
According to one the true apostolic church by saint peter head of the apostles.Not going church is a sin.
The catechism of the catholic church put's it like this.
CCC 2042 The first precept ("You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor") requires the faithful to sanctify the day commemorating the Resurrection of the Lord as well as the principal liturgical feasts honoring the mysteries of the Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the saints; in the first place, by participating in the Eucharistic celebration, in which the Christian community is gathered, and by resting from those works and activities which could impede such a sanctification of these days.82
The second precept ("You shall confess your sins at least once a year") ensures preparation for the Eucharist by the reception of the sacrament of reconciliation, which continues Baptism's work of conversion and forgiveness.83
The third precept ("You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season") guarantees as a minimum the reception of the Lord's Body and Blood in connection with the Paschal feasts, the origin and center of the Christian liturgy.84
So no one cannot be Christian without going to church.
And the sacrament of confession forgive's absolutely,any sin's that you done in your life but don't try to do it again. There is no sin that God cannot forgive,but it is important that you confess your sins otherwise if it's mortal sin you will not be saved.It's the same with unbelief as if you will not have faith you will not enter heaven.
- God (God is a person he is the supreme being,Our father,Creator,judge,omniscience,omnipotent,omni benevolent,God is the Trinity)
- Heaven (God's place/place were God is throned)
- Aim and purpose in life (following God and obeying him,we were created for his glory)
- Inner peace and joy (When we accept Christ,we have a Inner peace and Joy because we have reason to live for Christ)
- Reconciliation (Restoring relationship with God,which is blocked by our sins)
- Sin (Breaking God's rules )
- Freedom (God gives us freedom from fear: fear of loneliness, fear of man, fear of death, fear of hell when we put our faith in him)

So OK what does going to church actually achieve? Would you still be a Christian if you didn't go to church every Sunday? If yes then why bother going?
