I don't attend church, but I respect your dedication to volunteering. If you like it there, stand your ground - but don't put up your fists. 
I always thought church was supposed to be like a community within a community. What you described sounds more like your average commercial buffet open for critique. Aren't you all supposed to "love" each other? Wouldn't it have been nice if people would have cherished their time together over burnt coffee and messy surroundings? Wouldn't it have been nice if you later heard how much you were missed? Wouldn't it have been funny if they told you some had to take up a collection for sneak out the back door for a Starbucks run - or if they all showed up next week with broom in hand? 
I don't blame you for being upset.
