Okay, here is the first step. Say a very simple prayer along these lines. But you must be sincere, no mockery. "God, I never believed you existed, but if you do, I want to know the truth. Please reveal yourself to me." That is all it takes. Then, get a bible and start looking for a bible believing church. I know that sounds strange, but a lot of churches have moved very far to the left, having homosexual preachers, etc. So look online for a church in your community and their web page should state their doctrinal beliefs. Fundamental to those these:

They believe in the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

They believe in the infallibility of the Bible

They believe in the Virgin birth of Jesus

They believe Jesus willingly died for our sins and was resurrected and now sits at the right hand of God the Father in heaven.

Those are the very most basic things the church should believe. If they are wishy washy or don't expressly state those beliefs, keep looking. I would also highly recommend Kenneth Wuest's Expanded Translation of the New Testament. He uses all the English words necessary to convey the meaning of Scripture (New Testament was written in Greek, Old Testament mostly in Hebrew with a bit of Assyrian.) This New Testament is excellent because it more fully conveys the message. For instance, in Hebrews 13:5b God assures us "I will never leave you, I will never forsake you." That is how most bible translations will render that verse. But Wuest shows us that God goes even further by REPEATING Himself. Wuest's translation says, "I will not, I will not cease to sustain you. I will not, I will not, I will not let you down." The other translations basically get the point across, that God will never leave a believer. But Wuest's more accurate translation really hits the point home with the repetitiveness. I find that amazingly comforting that God repeated Himself. In the meantime, while you try to find a local church with which to fellowship, you can watch sermons on line. There are many good local churches from all over the country that post their sermons. Search around until you find a pastor whose style you like. And I can also recommend Joseph Prince. He has a 'mega church' in Singapore and has a real gift, imo, for teaching the uplifting love of God. Best wishes, fren. Feel free to dm me if you have questions.
