Picking a Church

Whereas, we desire an intimate bond with our brothers and sisters in Christ, and
Whereas, we recognize the importance of giving and receiving spiritual encouragment and material participation, and
Whereas, our children need to see the relational nature of walking in Christ, and
Whereas, I need to worship and meditate to believe what is true,
We hereby sorta, kinda, maybe think perhaps we might go to church and Get Involved.

I really want to teach Sunday School and model the new covenant with kids, and do science experiments to both learn about God and the world he made. Would any church anywhere put up with a teacher that taught about the phases of matter instead of the parables of Christ (or at least, in addition to the parables?)

Chuck would love to have the chance to teach about the new covenant. But the only church around here that wouldn't burn him for a heretic is a half hour away, and its big. Do I want to take my kids to a big church? So much of what I desire for them to know about Christianity is about relationship--would they find it there? Would anyone in town identify with homeschoolers from the sticks, dressed in cloaks and telling stories in elvish about milking the cow?

I'll let you know.
