The questions I ask myself regarding fellowships to attend:
1) Do the people in the church show love toward each other?
2) If I brought a seeker to services, would they hear a clear presentation of the gospel message?
3) Do I think it's a healthy environment for new believers?
4) Is their focus on Jesus Christ and salvation by grace through faith in him, or is it about some other false gospel?
5) Is sound doctrine taught there?
6) Is the pastor trustworthy? Would I trust him to exercise church discipline in a fair manner if I needed it?
7) Are they handling finances responsibly?
Those are some of the criteria I use, and it disqualifies a lot of churches.
