You seem to want to go there b/c of social aspect, as in your family peer pressure. If you do, you loose the whole original point of going to church -- to seek whataver is past this phycial world, and instead you go to church to find acceptance in your social group.
Bottom line: if yor fam really puses you -- go there. But if you go to church because of them, than you'll need to do extra work on yoru own, because what you gonna do would not be a spiritual activity.

Very nicely said, Lechium.

In my opinion, if you truly feel you want to go to church, go somewhere by yourself, where it's completly quiet, and pray. Pray to find out what church you should go to. Listen to advice from your friends, don't ever turn down an invitation, and if evangelists come knock on your door, no matter what religion they are, listen to them, and ask them questions. Always put yourself in a situation where you can recieve spiritual guidance. Pray about it every morning and night, do activities during the day that help you stay in touch with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Also, I'll be praying for you, and maybe other members of this forum will. Most importantly of all, listen to your heart.
