Many churches these days post past sermons on their websites. Those websites can tell you a lot in other ways, too, about the beliefs a church promotes and regards as central.

I would also look at the denomination. Some (Episcopal, ELCA, and United Church of Christ, for example) are known to be more progressive than others. This is another thing websites can be a big help with.

Nondenominational churches can vary widely, from extremely fundamentalist to ? So I would tread carefully with those.

All of the above is purely my personal opinion, so ymmv.
