Any church of the following:
--Christian Missionary Alliance (usually foundmore on the West Coast. One of the most notable members: Dr. Ravi Zacharias
www.rzim.org
--the Evangelical Free Churches, Chuck Swindoll the most notable pastor--see www.insight.org
---Southern Baptist churches, which, despite the name, are located in all 50 states. Many go by the name of "So-and-So Community church," such as Pastor Rick Warren's South Cost Community Church in Southern California.
--Any of The Vineyard Churches

Those are the first which come to mind. There are a number of others, but this gives you a running start.

Many of us use the name "First Baptist Church of.....". Maybe we need to work on that pride issue...LOL

I went to a Methodist church, looked at the printing in the song books and found out they were supplied by the United Methodists. No money in the offering plate and last time attending.
I like the Salvation Army Church.

I've never heard of the Christian Missionary Alliance or a Vineyard Church. Actually, I'm probably asking the question in the wrong way, anyway, since I'm burned out on all national and international churches. Far too much of tithes and offerings go to administrative overhead, and the career church bureaucrats seem to feather their own nests.

You see power struggles, and often a lot of politics. And don't get me started on the televangelists, who are milking a wonderful scam.

I'm sure there are wonderful unaffiliated neighborhood churches filled with good people. All I need to do is some legwork.

Christian Missionary Alliance. Founded by A.B. Simpson, and perhaps its most famous preacher, A.W. Tozer.
