Advice please on a church situation

[stony ground]

As you may know from my rare posts, this year my family has found a new church after being out of church for awhile. It is a small church, but they are wonderful people and we are very happy there and are being fed spiritually (which is the most important thing).

Recently, the pastor asked me & my wife to work on an outreach program for the church. Having been unchurched, churched, and backslidden in my life, I have a burden for all three groups, so after some prayer I accepted. We have started planning the program from the ground up and it will be fairly wide-ranging.

Another new addition to our church has been a preacher & wife who are sweet and earnestly God-fearing folks, who have been asked to help with the outreach as well. But in recent weeks, a problem has arisen. (This is the part I need advice with).

This preacher (who is a great preacher too, BTW) has some practices in his altar work which I do not wholly agree with. I will be specific if you request that I be as to what is occuring, but the thrust of my point is I feel that some (certainly not all) of his actions in the altar are extra-biblical, risk possible injury (yes, you read that right), and could be distracting at best or turn people away at worst. My wife was raised apostolic and feels the same way I do.

This has not been an isolated incident, it keeps happening. I am not ashamed to "act Pentecostal" in church, but as someone who was once new to this, I can see how this specific behavior could turn people off before we have a chance to make our case to them. I will pray and cry with you in the altar, or shout & leap for joy with you too, but I also believe in things done "decently and in order" and to have some biblical precedent.

Again, I don't know him extremely well, but I genuinely like the guy, he's as nice as he can be and is perfectly sincere as far as I can tell. But I abhor hypocrisy, and if I work to bring people to a church that I don't agree with the practices 100%, am I not a hypocrite? Should I talk to the guy myself? Speak with the pastor? Just grin & bear it? Bow out of the outreach ministry to not cause trouble? I am still fairly new there, and I do not want to cause trouble or over step my bounds. I do not know where the pastor stands on this and the gentleman in question is also an ordained minister and I do not wish to be disrespectful to either man.

Sorry this was so wordy, your thoughts are welcome, and again if you think the specific actions need to be stated, I'll be glad to do so but I didn't want to make this a theological debate on altar worship.
