I attend a small church here in my area. The congregation is not exactly Buddhist, but they are interested in Buddhism. There are many who want to talk about it and explore it. We also have people come to talk about buddhism as well. Another bonus for our congregation is the concept of community service is a huge part of who we are. Good luck! and the website the other person posted will allow you to plug in your area code and tell you of churches in your area. Good luck. I recommend a Unitarian Universalist church.

From the national organization's website(http://www.uua.org): Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion that encompasses many faith traditions. Unitarian Universalists include people who identify as Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics, Humanists, and others. As there is no official Unitarian Universalist creed, Unitarian Universalists are free to search for truth on many paths. I attend Horizon UU Church in Carrollton, TX (suburb of Dallas), where we have a Sangha which meets weekly.

My favorite is http://www.audiodharma.org Though I am fortunate enough to have a local sangha that I attend regularly, I still utilize this site. It offers additional teachings that aren't necessarily covered in my sangha. Peace.
