Church difficulties

Being part of an assembled, cohesive body of believers has been an important part of our lives here in Nicaragua. We have, at times, felt fed, supported, challenged, and useful as part of a small Assembly of God church here in Matagalpa. We have had opportunities to contribute financially and serve alongside the members in the various ministries of the church.
Some of my personal growth has come by walking through difficult times with this church. We have seen the departure of two pastors due to corruption and greed. The upheaval during those times was draining, but God used them to show me that my peace cannot be based anywhere but in Him.
Just before we left for the States we began to feel with this third pastor that, as with the other two, there is a spirit of greed and a vision that does not place God above all else. It appears that he is only interested in having a big, beautiful church building, a large congregation, and overflowing coffers. Meanwhile, the hearts and spirits of the people are dying or being crushed by the pastor in his zeal to accomplish his mission of building another church (he has told us often that he has planted and grown at least 13 churches from nothing).
So that is the background. Now fast forward three months and we have returned. What do we do? Our hearts are not in returning to that church, even though our best friends are there. We do not feel that we can support the pastors vision and know that simply by being there we are seen as such.
Providentially, three days ago I took the same bus as a dear friend and brother in the Lord on the return trip from Managua (2 hours away). He is a leader in the church and has gone through much pain and turmoil through all of this. We were able to catch up on many subjects, and as we walked the few blocks from the bus stop to our house I finally found the courage to tell him that I wasn't sure we would be returning to the church. I thought that perhaps he would try to convince me otherwise, but was surprised when he said, "Jesus did not come to build a denomination, but to bring Salvation. It is not necessary to attend the "correct" church, but to worship God wherever we are." (paraphrased translation)
I have spent the last couple days mulling this over and thinking about what the Scriptures say on the subject. Hebrews 10:25 says: "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another...". Why exactly are we told that? So that we can exhort, correct and pray for each other. So if I accept the idea that we need to be part of a body; that leaves two options: return to the old church or find a different one. As much as I do not like looking for a new church home that is probably what we will do.
Please be in prayer that God would direct us in this journey.

Oh, have I mentioned how much I dislike the idea of denominations. Wouldn't it be so great to simply say that I am a member of the body (church) of Jesus Christ!
