For the last few years I've been going to a small one room country church with a regular congregation of about 25-30.

I think that might be the real reason you find it a more spiritual experience. It's a smaller church where "everybody knows your name". That will almost always make one feel more connected w/ others and with G-d.

Perhaps. Maybe the social strictures of dress code a large churches are to create a feeling of familiarity that occurs in a smaller congregation without it.
