We looked at different churches for about 7 months before settling in to where we are now. We really like it there. We don't agree with everything but it has been a great healing place.

ILG,
I know what you mean about wanting to be a good example to your children. I kept them in a UPCI church as long as they were with me. My daughter married a man from an ALJC church and both my kids go to the same one. They are living more conservatively than I brought them up as I was pretty moderate, but I am proud they are all in church.
The church they go to has a Pastor and his wife that love my children and that makes things better. My daughter reminds me of myself...she is in many leadership positions and is very capable. My son loves God and eventually he will come into his calling but he still has 'issues' related to his parent's divorce. But I raised them right and they will end up on the right side of things. God promised that.
There is no perfect church, nor are there any perfect people, but thankfully we have a perfect God.
Love & Blessings, Rhoni
