While attending an OPC a year back, I have heard that Methodist Church is quite Liberal when it comes to sexuality. Although, this was only a second-hand news I received from few of my acquaintances and I do not have prior knowledge about its Statement of Belief. You would also need to study their Theological Position, either by internet or through books or through the horses mouth. The churches I have attended are strict conservative churches with no open position on any liberal beliefs. To name a notorious individual, Greg Bahnsen is a known Theonomist who favored the position of Theocracy through Covenant Theology. He has said that the magistrates must govern the world by the Holy Scripture: ie. Westminster Confession of Faith 1607?

The Non-Denominational Churches are also strict conservative with an ear of liberalism but preaches hard conservative position.

Also, when it comes to Christian beliefs, you must study the core foundation of Ethics from, perhaps, Systematic Theology and so the like. These men brings Christian beliefs out in the open for you to read and easily accessible for study. Some churches teaches that because the Covenant of Grace is strictly for believers, one cannot practice the same Biblical position and enforce it in the world. And yet, some churches as OPC, believes that Covenant of Grace is engulfing the Covenant Child and the believers, and as a Discipline, we MUST excercise Christian principle in the world. I have left out the technicality of its beliefs but they are the differences when it comes to Christians. Most Christians are not aware of Theological positions so they play no role in them, except that they are a strict conservatist.
