I'm looking for a church to attend. I want one that worships God - not Trump.

14. The Presbyterian church has two large

branches, one liberal and the other more traditionally conservative. The liberal branch is the largest and is referred to as the PCUSA, or, Presbyterian Church, USA.

Episcopal churches and the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) are also socially liberal. The word "Evangelical" in the name of the Lutheran Church has nothing to do with current evangelical fundamentalist churches. It is a historical carryover from the Protestant Reformation when Lutherans in Europe were called evangelical in comparison to the Catholic Church.

Methodist Churches have liberal and conservative branches, so be sure which is which.

A good way to find out about individual churches is to visit them. Go to a few services and see what the sermons, hymns, and prayers are like, and what groups exist within the church, e.g. committees, charity activities, any social activism. Also, ministers are always happy to have visitors and new members, so you can attend a few services and call the minister for an appointment to ask questions about the church. You can judge by their answers whether it is one you would be comfortable with.
