[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need a church that doesn't play that god-awful (excuse the pun) contemporary worship music with a full band on stage and people in the pews holding their hands up in the air with their eyes closed. I just want to go and sit and take in my sermon and feel like a better person, and make friends too, but not the kind who will be uptight and judgy and want to be super Christians outside of church. Just regular people who go to church on Sundays to feel like good people and try to have a good relationship with God but also don't want to make their whole LIFE about serving God and "fellowship."

If this existed, I might actually go to church!  Have you tried Methodist or Presbyterian?  These are the most low-key, IMO.[/quote]

I am that OP. Yes, I have tried Methodist (I was baptized Lutheran, and Methodist churches seemed pretty similar) and did not mind them, but this was in the south, where I am from, so compared to some of the Southern Baptist bible beater/handles snakes/talks in tongues churches you can find down there, the Methodist churches seemed refreshingly moderate. In this area (NoVa), I'm not sure what they'd be like and have yet to decide on a church to go to. I am looking into a Lutheran one in my area that seems like it might be a good fit, but I guess you never know until you actually go one Sunday.

I read other PP's suggestions of Unitarian churches, and I'll have to research that, but it might be a little "out there" for me. I like my church going experience to be traditional; hymns, scripture, sermon, prayer. But I'm just never going to be the type to read from my Bible every night, feel bad about cursing or having a drink if I want, I'm not going to put a Jesus fish on my car, I'm not going to ban "worldly" music in my home, etc. etc. Basically, I need to find a church that has traditional services but fairly liberal and laid back congregants. Should be totally easy!!![/quote]
