Anyone know of good options or alternatives to UMC??

The Bible-believing branch of Lutheranism is the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS),. Salvation is "by grace alone, though faith alone and scripture alone." LCMS does not permit women pastors, although women can be elders and teachers, and does not believe in birth control, abortion or sex outside of marriage — and marriage is between one man and one woman. It is in the Apostolic faith tradition — God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Technology changes, but the Word of God doesn't change with the times.

Have a look around the web site: Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and see if there is a congregation near you: Locator: LCMS Churches and Schools

There are many congregations in the LCMS that do not permit women elders. It is not seen on my district but may be more common on the east coast.
