Knowing that the Bible says that one needs fellowship with other believers to grow with the Lord, and attending a good church can be a good way to do just that, I wanted to try my hand at finding a good church to go to. I have always had an adversion to churches since they can be a little too self righteous and holier than thou, among many other things. I also don't want to spend a whole lot of time bouncing around from church to church to find the right one. Any suggestions? I'm looking for one that isn't hardcore fundamentalist or too liberal, and has a good percentage of people in my age group (25) attending. If you know where to look, it would be appreciated. I live in the Seattle area. E mail me if you have any further questions.

The best way to start is to eliminate which churches you do not want to attend is to look in the yellow pages. Assuming you are not a member of any particular denomination, then you can eliminate those.
Churches spend most of their advertising dollars on Yellow Page ads. From what I have been told, it is the best return for them.
Go to the section: Non-Denominational and start to look. After you find one in the area that you are willing to drive to, start going and checking them out.
Looking for a church is a very serious thing as if you go to one that is more program oriented, you may miss out on some good teaching.
It may take you a few weeks, but you should know if you are a good fit in a church after one or two services. If the church does not WOW your spirit, then keep on looking.
