We all know some, whom, attesting to their, own, dedication to their belief-system, although he/she may, actively, participate in weekly-service, 'forget' to carry forward, for the balance of the week, their 'lessons' in the Lord. Actually, I feel that when He lives in us, WE, actually, become His Church; and, in so being, we can assist others, in their 'Walk of Truth', in their, own, following of Our Lord. The 'help' we offer, needn't be shown in 'over-zealousness' of our Beliefs, or, by blatant, 'religious' demonstration. Truly, all one need be is 'available' to others, when they're in need, or, otherwise. Sending someone a note of appreciation, giving a person a word of encouragement, praying for others, or, offering sound-advice, are all ways in which we can help others in their own, 'Spiritual-Journey' with God. One doesn't, necessarily, require the 'four-walls', of a building, to live according to the customs and teachings of Christ. As long as He lives within a 'person of persuasion', one, whom, lives as He desires, His message(s) DO 'get out there'. Just Sayin'...
