That was actually another topic I wrestled with when I was first in business. My ex-partner said I should go join a church so I could meet people and they could become patients. I just didn't feel right doing that but I do know a lot of people do that and some religions are more "fraternal" than others (Mormons, Jews, Christian evangelicals.) in that regard and I probably left some "lost opportunity" on the table.

When our kids were first ready to go to the dentist I had to ask around to find one..turns out the one we liked goes to our church, I didn't know that because they went to the late service (and the mom had breast cancer, so at the hospital chaplain more than here...) Regardless my point is, they didn't get my business because they went to our church (the mother recommending them didn't go to ouyr church either!
Not all churches are about the networking, or the money, some are unfortunatly, and finding the right one is a royal PIA..I spent 4 years church shopping...pain in the ...., but we did finally find this one. (and they still are not perfect)
