Here's a few church finders if anyone is convicted that they need to look for a sound fellowship.
As a young believer I got involved with a cultic group. As a result, I became very picky about the fellowships I would attend. Each of the choices below are associations that seem to be good as far as doctrine goes, and I have personally attended EFCA and CMA fellowships.
If you are already a Christian, and are in the USA, and don't have a good sound home fellowship, I suggest a church associated with Evangelical Free Churches of American (EFCA) or Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA). Churches affiliated with EFCA, in particular, are very good. They are gospel oriented, loving people and I have had great experiences with them.
Also, 9Marks ministry is very sound and has a number of churches that are associated with it. Their churchfinder isn't so great, though..you will need to select your location then use the zoom to find a church in your area.
This is the Evangelical Free churchfinder:

This is the Christian and Missionary Alliance churchfinder:

Canada has an association called Evangelical Free Churches of Canada:

Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches is similar to EFCA and is located in United Kingdom and has a church finder on their site:

Fellowship if Independent Evangelical Churches also has an Australian version and it has a church finder on its site:

As an aside, the word "Free" in the name of these associations means that the local churches are able to govern themselves, and that they are not part of a denomination but an association. The association may step in if the church is teaching outright heresy but does not govern the local church like denominations do.
Be aware that several groups are definitely cultic or teach really bad doctrine and should be avoided. I would include any of the Armstrongite "Church of God" churches (United Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, Living Church of God, Restored Church of God, as well as various others), Jehovah's Witnesses, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Oneness Pentecostals, Christian Science, Unitarian, and Seventh Day Adventists. I would also include many, if not most, Hebrew Roots Movement and Messianic Jew congregations, with the exception of Jews for Jesus, which I understand is sound and evangelical. There are also many liberal mainstream churches which ordain gay pastors and promote same sex marriage..I do not know them all but I believe ELCA and PCUSA would be included in this category.
Watch out for groups who teach against one of these points: full deity of Jesus Christ, Trinity doctrine (one God in three Persons), inspiration and infallibility of Scripture, justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, imputed righteousness, bodily resurrection, judgment of the righteous and unrighteous, eternal punishment of the unrighteous, original sin, virgin birth of Jesus Christ, and a completed substitutionary atonement.
