I dont go to church because i dont understand church, i sleep on sundays – maame gold

According to report by Ghbase on Monday 9, November 2026, Ghanaian entrepreneur Maame Gold has opened up about her personal relationship with God, explaining why she does not regularly attend church despite her strong belief in Christianity and the teachings of the Bible.

Speaking in an interview on Atinka FM, the entrepreneur disclosed that although she loves God and believes in His word, she does not consider attending church services every Sunday an essential requirement for demonstrating her faith.

According to Maame Gold, she prefers spending her Sunday mornings sleeping rather than participating in traditional church activities. She explained that her decision should not be interpreted as a lack of faith or a rejection of Christianity, insisting that she maintains a strong relationship with God in her own way.

During the interview, she made it clear that she does not particularly identify with the conventional practice of attending church regularly.

“I don’t understand church. I love God, and I believe in the word of God, but I am not the type who attends church,” she stated.

Maame Gold further revealed that she considers helping people, particularly those facing financial difficulties and other personal challenges, to be her personal ministry. She explained that giving and supporting the less privileged are activities she finds meaningful and considers part of her purpose in life.

She also argued that generosity should be recognised as a calling, just like other professions that require dedication and a commitment to serving humanity.

“This is my ministry. I sleep when it’s Sunday. Giving is my ministry. Giving is also a calling; the job of a teacher is also a calling. Therefore, giving is a calling,” she explained.

Her comments have sparked discussions about the different ways Christians understand and practise their faith, particularly regarding the importance of regular church attendance compared with demonstrating Christian values through everyday actions.

While many Christians consider attending church services an important aspect of worship, Maame Gold believes that showing love, compassion and generosity towards others is central to her personal expression of faith.
