when/if you find that church, let me know, please. Unfortunately that's about all I've been able to find--unless I go to an ultra-conservative calvinist church.
Of course, if you're a calvinist, I'm sorry, don't mean to insult you--but I just don't believe that.

I will.
Finding a good church in Omaha area
that isnt influenced by Bill Hybels and Rick Warren and Brian McLaren and his cult's deceptive beliefs or isnt a Word of Faith church is tough to find here.
I am not a calvinist but I am a fan of John MacArthur's.
I hear ya. I do like him, too. My wife and I went to a large area church that hired a pastor from Willow Creek. Since then the preaching has really gotten squishy.

If you are in Northwestern area of Omaha (which I think you said you were) I would really recommend you try Harvey Oaks - if memory serves me right probably about 150 people and I think it would meet your criteria.

If memory is right they also have Our Savior's in Elkhorn, Center Baptist around 42nd & Center, Overland Hills in Papillion, and another one (forget the name) in South Omaha... None are huge churches (150-250?)
Since these are governed locally some BGC churches may have the influences you indicate you don't want and others will be real conservative and avoid those influense... Of the ones in Omaha Center and Harvey Oaks I would guess are the most conservative...
We visited Evangelical Bible Church today. I went a few weeks ago on Palm Sunday to check it out. Today I took the whole family. Our kids don't like visiting new churches, and then leaving a couple of weeks later, so I went by myself, then to our "regular" church together afterward.
As we were walking in, we saw a couple we used to go to church with at another church. They helped us find a Sunday School class, and then we sat by them in the regular service.
From what I've seen of the church, it's what you'd expect from a smaller-to-medium sized church. The pastor spoke from the Bible. He seems direct, not too slick, and just....real. Afterward, we went out to lunch with our old friends. We think we've found a new church home.
What denomination is that part of? Is it a stand-alone church, or does it affiliate itself with a larger organization? I didn't find a statement of faith on the site...I found a large amount of articles about different topics, but nothing concise enough to really get a feel for what they believe.

I live in the area and am not familiar with it. Looked at the address and can't place it - based on the initial page didn't seem real strong in any firm statements of faith. I may real close to that address later today - my curiosity is up so might have to drive by and see what it is.
