I've looked at a few churches like that, this one for example: http://www.unity.org/ and perused their website, they listed quite a bit of information in the "our philosophy" section. This is what they had to say about Jesus

Jesus
We believe that Jesus expressed his divine potential and sought to show humankind how to express ours as well. We see Jesus as a master teacher of universal truths and as our Way Shower. In Unity, we use the term Christ to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus is the great example of the Christ in expression.
And that makes me feel generally unpleasant. (especially because of some of the key words are used by the Christian Science branch of my family)

Actually, I think the perfect church for me would be a progressive Christian one, that deals more with relational Christianity and personal faith, and the Kingdom of God (in the here and now) and not focused on heaven/hell/afterlife stuff.
