Brother Devin,
In my search for a church, I used google maps to help find churches that were direclty nearby. I viewed their websites and read their statements of faith and looked at whatever information they put out about themselves. I started with the closest. I then came up with a list of the top 5 churches within a reasonable distance. Then, I began attending. I made it to the 2nd one and never left!
That doesn't seem profoundly spiritual, but if you can find a church nearby, even within the community you are located, then you can be 10x more effective a local ministry, evangelism, etc beause the church is near you.
If you can't find one that close, that's totally fine BUT that's how I usually start when I move to a new place.
