Realistically, we have had people in our past churches that were 1.5 hours away. They drove to church each Sunday, stayed with a family all day, and then went to evening services, then drove back.

There have been people in history who walk all night to get to church the next day. I don't think distance compromises the idea overall.
About once a month I attend a Saturday morning men's Bible Study at our local OPC Chruch (although I'm a member of our closest PCA Church). I'm aware that the OPC & PCA are bascially unified on most matters and it is great to fellowship with these men. There are families in this OPC Church that drive over 1 hour to attend services, because they are committed to the doctrine and manner of life demonstrated in the OPC and in this local assembly in particular.
