If your current church is not ministering to you effectively I am all for you finding one that will. Please just don't lose sight of the fact that the Bible clearly states that God gave us pastors, teachers ,etc for a reason.

More than ever when you are stressed you need spiritual support and guidance and most of all love from a local assembly of believers.
