You are fortunate in that most all Churches fit that description however the real question is which style of Church music you are looking for. The problem with that is sometimes where you find the best and most enjoyable music you find they are light on teaching and you won't learn as much. The importance of studying your Bible can't be underestimated so study your Bible and not only what the preacher says. Methodist and Baptist churches have excellent choirs but many Baptist Church's are more reluctant to adopt the newer style Christian music. Pentecostal churches, often call themselves independent, will present you with much festive and contemporary music but you will find a lot of it is more verse than song but never the less very exciting. Any Church of Christ or Christian church has music as well but much more fundamental type music and since they don't believe in instruments you get a good chance to develop your voice as they sing without music. Still most all churches vary today and accept far more progressive music styles with praise and worship gaining popularity. My suggestion is visit several Churches and see which ones you feel more comfortable in. Don't neglect the style of preaching also for that is also necessary. When you visit also talk to the music director and see if he/she is open to accepting new members into the music program and what kinds of music they will be singing. Find out how flexible they are to using contemporary style music for some are very rigid that they only stick to the denominational approved music manual.

Well... there are churches that let you sing and also have sermons, but I don't think there are churches with only singing and no sermons, if that's what you mean.
Try a 'contemporary' worship, they have more singing, the music's more modern, and everyone can sing. That would probably be something you would enjoy.

There are so many churches like that. I'm not sure where you are from and what is in your area. I attend a Pentecostal church and there are plently of opportunities to get involved, including singing in the choir.

Try the United Methodist Church. They love to sing. So do the Episcopalians.

I always recomend smaller congrigations... and in smaller congrigations there is always a need for help in every area of the church home... I recomend small Bible teaching churches such as concervative Baptist. those I am familier with all have some music as part of the service... usualy they do not have "choirs" but have some who do stand as a music worship team to lead the singing... The purpose of singing is to praise God... not to stand up front to be seen... think and pray hard on your motives... if you are wanting to sing praise to God then he will lead you to where you are needed.... not to where you can satisfy your needs... but to satisfy the needs of God and those you are led to help in His name...
May God's guidence by yours.

You want a church were you can do whatever you want? You should just stay in one church and if God allows he can make it happen. It sounds like you just want to sing in front of a congregation.

Most churches have choirs. Find one that agrees with the Bible and enjoy.

Your best bet for finding one would be to call or visit different churches in your area and ask.
