Appears there is "no room" for that kind of free expression of praise and worship at my new church.
If I agree with them doctrinally, but they are not so lively, should I find another church to attend? I really liked this church, the people were so loving and caring and I clicked real well with the folks I spoke and fellowshipped with.
I felt like I belonged, mainly because of their doctrine.
But they have "thrown the baby out with the bath water" IMHO, while trying to distance themselves from the fake and mess assiociated with demonstrative worship.

Maybe give the church another chance? Sometimes you just have an off service. I'm sure there have been services at my church that a visitor wouldn't have necessarily thought we were a lively church, but they would have been wrong.
I would give them another chance or two if I really liked the church overall.
