This article in About.com gives some great tips for finding a church that suits your needs. Here are a couple of excerpts:
Where does God want me to serve?
While this resource is meant to offer practical steps for finding a church home, prayer is of primary importance in the process. As you seek the Lord’s direction, he will give you wisdom to know where he wants you to fellowship. So, be sure to make prayer a priority each step along the way.
If you’re not sure why it’s important to find a church, check out what the Bible says about church attendance.
There are other things you’ll want to consider also, when searching for a new church in Oklahoma.
What type of service structure?
“Ask yourself, “Would I feel more freedom to worship through a structured or formal liturgy, or would I be more comfortable in an informal atmosphere?” For example, Catholic, Anglican, Episcopalian, Lutheran and Orthodox churches will usually have more formal services, while Protestant, Pentecostal, and nondenominational churches will tend to have more relaxed, informal worship services.”
You’ll also want to consider the type of ministries the church offers, the size of the church, the type of worship & the attire.
