Timothy, you said
--- Quote ---Most of the people that I know from the church that I attend are very good people.
--- End quote ---
I don't believe this should be the criteria someone uses to determine whether to attend or not attend a denomized church. 2 Corinthians 11:14 says - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. I don't care how righteous someone seems, are they standing for THE WORD (God's righteousness).
i think true born again believers should pray before doing anything. 1 Corinthians 10:31 - Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Dear Matt,
I love you brother so please do not be offended by this b/c no offense is meant by it, but, (to me) it sounds as if you are caring more about appeasing your wife (to come to church with her and let her and your kids stay there) than of doing what God says to do as their spiritual covering...(which is to bring them out...'come out of her my people'.) It also seems like she is not willing to trust, support, respect and submit to your spiritual leadership; to me this is here the problem lies. IT IS SHE THAT IS TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN AND LEADING THEM ASTRAY...BY LETTING THEM LEARN WHAT THE CHURCHES ARE TEACHING. Why is this? YOU will be held accountable for allowing the wolves to teach your children and her; and since she wants to stay, let her go , but let the kids stay out of there and at home with you. You are to protect them from satans (church) wiles since they are blinded by the wolves' (church) tactics. God gave you the truth for a reason...use it to get them out of there while you have the chance and before it is too late Matt! (It is harder to UNLEARN lies than it is to learn truths.) Your wife needs to give YOU a chance to teach them at home and give you the respect due you in this leadership/covering area! This will be one of the most important decisions of your life, marriage, and family! As sweet as she and the kids are, she is still blinded, therefore, you must lead her or else it is the blind leading the blind.
I absolutely feel your pain in your struggles in wanting to be pleasing to God while at the same time trying to make spiritual peace in your household. I think that here has been excellent info given on this topic. And after reading all of the posts, I think that Roy, Ciy, and Bradigans has the biblical answer and are unified in the truth of this matter. The issue at hand here is definitely meat and not milk! This is a very hard thing to accept too, but the rewards of living the truth far outweigh the temporal rewards that will not last. Basically, I think that you should take their wisdom and be the spiritual leader of your house once and for all and to be their spiritual covering instead of your wife being the spiritual covering of everyone. I thought it was a good idea that your wife visit the forum instead of you always visiting the church. (WE are the church.)
Again, please don't take this message offensively, you are a dear brother to me!!! :)
