If churches read the bible book by book as it was traditionally read, even in synagogues, when they get to gospels and Revelation they cannot avoid mentioning what hell is. Because Jesus talked about it. Even some of the letters, like Jude, warned about it.
I dont know how some churches manage to avoid any mention at all, but sadly some do, as they prefer their own agendas and pick and choose what they want to share from the Bible. I have heard some only preach about faith and healing, and some will only have messages that are motivational. But then its not a topic that preachers these days with the exception of some evangelists like to discuss. Its too scary and discomforting for many people. We may be saved but we know many people who arent. To say to them you may be going to hell is confrontational and not an easy conversation. But dont forget we were all hellbound at some point when we didnt know the Lord and tempted to follow Satan.
