I do attend church, but I'm looking for the perfect church and that won't be there until we get to heaven.
My ideal church has real praise and worship, using scriptural verses (like the Psalms) as songs. A lot of time in spent in praise and worship.
The pastor preaches using the Bible and encourages the people to bring a Bible to church and uses scriptural passages (not just a verse here and there) to show us what God is saying. He preaches on a sermon that shows how to grow in Christ and to put it into practical use.
I also am looking for a church that swings to the right politically, and that is where I'm having trouble finding a church. What I mean by that, they want to show how to put their relationship with God into practice. They get involved in the community and encourage believers to do this as well.
The church teaches us how to develop our gifts and talents to use in a ministry where we can not only glorify God, but also teaches us how to help one another.
The church should teach strict guidelines on judgmentalism and enforce that as christians, it is not our job to judge others.
Finally, I want a church where the church preaches on how to get to heaven and is not afraid to teach us how to share the gospel in a loving way. Not door to door, repent or go to hell, but God loves me and I want you to have him as your savior as well, because he loves and cares for you. Show us all how to grow in Christ so that we can walk in the Biblical concept of righteousness. So that we learn to really exemplify God's agape love to one another.
Oh and one other thing...I love churches who open their doors to everyone. Let God do the convicting on wrongdoing, not the people but accept everyone in their doors without them feeling like they will be judged.

When everyone becomes ministers of their temples of God, their hearts, minds, souls, and the bodies.
Everyone is acting Godly, not only speaking of God's words but showing unconditional love to their neighbors.
These Churches will be accepted to everyone, flexable, open to anyone.
I'm saying, whenever there is 2, 3 people or more, gather together, there is a church?

I go at least 3x a week as it is but I would like them to concentrate more on the different sins from the pulpit and especially sexual sin because people are under the impression today that as long as your not married anything goes and it is not sinful. This is wrong

The very first thing I would do is have God turn everyone red that is not being truthful and is only there to look good and use others, Unfortunately I'm afraid it might be a lot.

Just one church under God whether it is all Catholic or Pentecost or whatever, one mind of Christ. Not this schizophrenia church with multiple personality's.

Less ritual, more faith sharing.
