Number of services: There are 3 services each day (morning, afternoon, and evening) with additional services following, without interruption, the morning service on Shabat and holidays.
Going to synagogue: Observant Jews will try to go to synagogue twice-a-day every day (14 times-a-week); the evening service follows the afternoon service (usually after a brief instructional period) so the person does not leave the synagogue. Put another way, once in the morning and once in the afternoon/evening.
Jews attend scheduled services. In addition, many synagogues conduct social, cultural, and educational events.
Concerning only the scheduled services:
Some Jews attend synagogue regularly, for the full schedule of services, meaning morning and evening of every day.
Some Jews attend the synagogue service only on Sabbath and holidays ... Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday evening, holiday morning and evening.
Some Jews attend an occasional Sabbath service and perhaps an occasional holiday service.
Some Jews attend only High Holy Day services ... Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
A great proportion of Jews 'visit' a synagogue only to attend scheduled services, although almost every synagogue conducts social, cultural, and educational events in addition to worship.

Do Jews pray at a church?
The Jewish house of worship is a synagogue. Churches are for Christians. There are times when Jews are invited to visit churches either to see a Christian Wedding or some other important event. However, it is forbidden by Jewish law to pray before an idol or graven image and most churches have large crosses, statues, or statuettes of Jesus, which would make prayer there impossible. On these grounds, many Orthodox Jews prohibit Jewish entry into churches (even for non-prayer as it may confuse someone into believing that it is permissible to pray there.)
Is it important for A Jewish community to have a synagogue?
There is no requirement for Jewish prayer to take place in the synagogue. The issue is the difference between group and individual prayer. Group prayer requires a minimum of 10 people (amongst Orthodox and some Conservative communities it must be 10 men) and can take place pretty much anywhere.
How many times a year would Jews go to the synagogue?
From the beginning of the synagogue as an institution, some Jews have attended services twice daily (if the afternoon and evening services are consecutive so counted as one attendance). That's 730 times a year. From the beginning, not all Jews have been able to attend that frequently.Synagogues emerged in or not long after the Babylonian exile. They were and still are typically a local institution, easily accessible to the residents of the community they serve. The original synagogue services were organized to correspond to the sacrificial services in the Temple in Jerusalem, so at the time the priest should be conducting the morning (Shacharit) sacrifice, a Sacharit service was held in the synagogue, and the afternoon (Mincha) sacrifice would be paralleled with a Mincha service. The evening (Maariv) may have emerged later and is not parallel to a service of sacrifice in the Temple. Frequently, Mincha and Maariv are combined into one service, with Mincha immediately before sunset and Maariv right after.In summary, observant Jews living close enough to a synagogue to step in for every service might attend as frequently as 730 times a year (twice a day, day in and day out). Long ago, Jews recognized that not all Jews would be able to do this, and it is acceptable to pray any of the services on your own if you can't make it to synagogue. Morning services are generally considered higher priority, and Saturday, Monday and Thursday mornings are special because they have Torah Readings. Shabbat (Sabbath) services are more important.
