My wife and I experienced this ourselves. We had been going to a church for several years. We didn't even realize how stale our church had become, until we visited the church my brother attends (in another state). So, I understand what you're experiencing.
If you recognize your relationship with God is suffering, and you believe it's the result of your church, I think the obvious answer is to find a new church. You need to look for a church that is Bible-based, that's not afraid to preach the Word (i.e., they don't sugar-coat the truth), and one where you can use your spiritual gifts to get engaged in the church and community (1 Corinthians, chapter 12).
Most churches have websites now, where they list their "statement of faith" or their beliefs. You can check out their beliefs before you ever step in the door, to make sure they match up with what the Bible teaches.
Also, make sure you are focusing on the basics in your own "walk" with God. That is, make sure you are spending time reading the Bible daily - it's the primary way God has chosen to communicate with us. Make sure you are praying daily. Ask God to show you any aspect of your life in which you're holding something, or someone, as more important than God. Sometimes we can give people or things priority over God without even recognizing it.
Finally, don't delay. There is nothing more important in this life than to be in the center of God's will.

I suggest that you visit a few other churches. I am not saying that anything is wrong with the one you are in you can visit others that are of the same religion. Find a church home where the word is coming forth and feeding your spirit. If you don't feed you natural man at all or you feed it junk food it gets sick. Your spirit is the same why if you don't feed it the word it gets sick. I think that you are not getting what you need spiritually I would visit some different churches. Hope this helps. Be Blessed!!

Going to Church does not make you a Christian.

Even if you don't go to church, you stilll have a relationship with god, no matter what. He's always there for you and so are you. So, just go with the flow and pretend its just like your old church.

What was your faith in God based on to begin with?
Do you have a personal walk with God?
Has He spoke to your heart?
Have you been influenced by wrong things lately?
Pray and read the Word - get back in touch with
the Lord - that is always the answer.
I hope that helps!

Go with the flow. A church doesn't define your relationship with god.

With elmers glue. ;)
Go see your pastor. Speak with the adult or youth group. Get involved in the new church. If it that important to you, make the effort to stay.
But if you come to the point where you realy DON'T believe anymore: Breathe. It will be ok.
