It's not and never about what kind of church they go to. Each person is personally responsible for their OWN actions, before God.
Unless the minister is from the church of Satan and is actively teaching people that they should sin, no church in the world, of any stripe, is going to openly declare the necessity of sin as a lifestyle.
Sure, behind the scenes, actions speak louder than sermons, but it's not like the people involved somehow think they're not sinning when they involve themselves in fornication, adultery, or etc.
