Hope you find just the church. I am pretty sure that God loves the wealthy just the way he loves the poor. Many poor become wealthy. Many don't change from the decent, good people they were before they worked hard to get money enough to be called wealthy.
I can only think of one religion that doesn't really look at woman as good, and powerful and wonderful just like men. That church doesn't have a building in The Villages. The right for women to choose is between her and her moral values. If you are not a woman, then it isn't your choice.
All churches I know of including my own certainly agree that the poor and needy should be helped. It is the healthy and lazy that need to get to church and help their families and the rest of the world. I have always liked the parable of the talents.
Keep an open mind. You will find almost all those things in all churches and the opposite too. There is only one person we have power over and that is ourselves.
May you find a church home if that is what you are searching for. You will find love and hate too, in almost all institutional churches.
Good morning and a hug. Sorry for the lecture.
