The Methodist church in town is very conservative. While I personally do not care for women pastors, I have heard some great teaching by women. The pastor of the church sets the tone; though it’s not good to church hop, you also shouldn’t stay in a particular church if the pastor is a dud, or giving false teaching, among other things. We’re in between churches, and really need a church home. I’ve listened to the local Methodist church, and this pastor is the real deal. I hope he stays. (We don’t have a Lutheran church here. But if I were inclined to go to a Lutheran church, it would have to be a Missouri Synod.)
Glad you found a good congregation. I really miss the days when you could go into just about any mainstream church in the U.S. and not have your blood pressure go up due to apostacy from the pulpit. Or hung in banners all over the place.
