How can I find a church or community that aligns with my beliefs and values?

When you go to a church, you should automatically feel welcomed, like you are at home, at first its not going to feel that way but if the members of the church make it a priority to get to know you and  make you feel welcomed that’s a first good sign. Then you have to listen to what the pastor is trying to communicate to the audience, if what he’s saying feels right to you and he’s reading God’s word how could it be wrong? Sometimes God’s  beliefs and values are different than ours, but we have to swallow a big pill sometimes and realize he is right and his word is true. God has changed my perspective and values, he has made things I thought impossible happen and it has changed my life greatly. I once went to this church and I felt like an outsider everytime I would go but I went because I craved to hear God’s word, no one from church would talk to me, I would try to talk to the pastor but they were all closed off. It didn’t feel like family or welcoming. All the people that were there were obligated to go because the worked for or lived with the pastor, I tried my best being one of the church but I could never seem to fit in and I thought I was the problem. I would get messages from God here and there but they would try to twist his word into their liking, it was corrupt and I stopped attending. I went to another church and it was better I didn’t feel that uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, I wasn’t worried about being judged or looked down on, I could finally spread the word that God has expressed to me without feeling like other would see me as trying to kiss their butt and trying to fit in. Once I knew that they felt like I was kissing butt and attending church for then to like me I stopped going because those weren’t my true intentions, and I have always been the black sheep I wear it loud and proud and I don’t have to care about what anyone thinks about me but Jesus Christ. When you feel that you are doing the right thing going to that church you feel peaceful, inspired,  and motivated to serve the lord and you have a community that will pick you up when you are falling down is when you know that church is right for you.
