I found this:

“This means that Jesus Christ is taking responsibility to sanctify us. ... We don’t have to figure out our spiritual growth or take control of it. We have to submit and follow. We have to do this in a proper respect (aka fear) of the Lord.”

Finding a church isn’t the answer. Finding Jesus is the answer. If you only find an alternative church without finding Jesus, the one responsible to sanctify us, you might as well stay where you are...wherever that may be.

Alwayscurious, you inadvertently I think, raised an excellent topic. I don’t mean to dogpile you, but thank you for your curiosity!
