Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you but I couldn't figure out what you could possibly mean by the statement that a church didn't fit your family. That could mean lots of things. For us, we wanted the unadulterated Word of God and we got it at the LCMS we attend. Frankly, if this church would disappoint, I have no idea where I would go.

The new LCMC ordains women, which is a deal breaker and they also practice open communion. I know the idea of open communion sounds welcoming but the Lord's Supper is much more than a social event. I take I Corinthians 11:27 seriously.

You did not offend. I personally prefer male Pastors. I do not find the issue of female pastors a deal breaker. I have found that (generally) they are great care givers but poor leaders. I am just struggling right now. It is difficult to leave a church you have been a member of since you were 10. Pray for me and my family.
