My experience has been that God moves in churches that spend considerable time in repentance/brokeness, prayer, praise, worship and His Word. That might not hold true for others. An example - The church building was open hours before and after services and everyone was encouraged to come and pray. Socializing was outside the sanctuary. Sometimes during the service, there was a few min of silence. An attentiveness to see what direction He wanted - before, during or after. Occasionally, the church service was worship songs Did happen at Christmas - so easy to focus on Him because the songs are about Him. Also, He would let us know how He wanted us to clean up.

After the sermon, those who wanted/needed could leave and people weren't made to feel guilty if they did. Most of the time, services were not over at 12:07. Plus there was prayer at the church during the week. In Scripture, there were times it notes they were in one accord.

Several times Jesus said "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matt and Mark

Dont usually add "of the kingdom." John the Baptist said the kingdom of heaven is at hand. But there's not a king without a kingdom which is particularly true of our King.
