That being said, how can this born-and-bred baptist decode all the presbyterian code words to choose the right church to visit? To my mind growing up, all Presbyterians were lukewarm social-gospel baptismal regenerationists (I don't know where I got that idea). . . and I don't really want an experience in a church like that.

So, what should hubby and I look for when choosing a church to visit?
There aren't many consistent Psalm singers in the PCA or OPC, but it's more likely you'll find them in the OPC. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) are Psalm singers.

You might also consider a United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA) or Reformed Church in the United States (RCUS) church depending on your destination.
