I live in suburban Detroit, and know of a few good LCMS congregations in the area. Send me a private message if you’d like more info.
It does. It tells me it’s mainstream Episcopalian.There is still a remnant of orthodox Episcopalians, but I’m not totally sure if they exist outside of the Pittburgh diocese.I know the Episcopalians around here (IN) are extremely liberal. The Indy diocese has a female bishop, if that tells you anything.
Welcome to the forums, Michigan22!
Can’t get much more orthodox than the Catholic church. Except maybe a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic Church. That may be going a bit too far for you, though.
Wow. Your town must be very small if there are no Lutheran churches at all, even ELCA. What denominations have churches in your town?
Yes, that would be good to know
True. We really cannot recommend a church that is similar to LCMS if we do not even know what churches are available.
I tookt he belief net test. I should be 7th day adventest or some other such.The Episcopal church will give you liturgical-style worship, but doctrinally the LCMS is much more conservative. The other churches which might be more compatible with LCMS’s beliefs will probably not be liturgical in their style of worship.
BeliefNet has a “Belief-o-matic” quiz which will tell you which denominations match your beliefs. This might help you figure out where to start in seeking a new church home.

Good luck and God bless! And you are always welcome to come to Mass.
It says I would be equally happy as a Muslim as Catholic, but it never asked if I consider pork products a necessity of life 
It was a fun little quiz. Some of the quesitons are a little tricky as two answers may fit your beliefs and you may not put enough emphasis on some things for it to like you choice (or too much)I was tied with 100% Roman Catholic and 100% Conservative Protestant. There was another quiz I took once where I was Lutheran, Catholic or orthodox Quaker.I tookt he belief net test. I should be 7th day adventest or some other such.
Yes, the OP has said he is considering the Catholic church, and even as a Protestant, depending upon what is available, I would concur. Of course if there is a United Methodist church it should be a no brainer
In my humble opinion (or not so humble as I am not blessed with a lot of humility), you can attend any church you want, even if oyu do not accept the teachings. You cannot (should not) be a member of that faith, however, if you do not accept them. You are more than welcome in the Catholic church where I attend. Unless you are Catholic, however, you cannot receive the sacraments, including communion. It does not eman that you cannot learn in our classes and attend the masses.Yes, the OP has said he is considering the Catholic church, and even as a Protestant, depending upon what is available, I would concur.

Seriously though,
I know that seems too pragmatic for this kind of crowd on this board. Even though I could not officially in good conscience join because I do not believe in the Papacy or the Marian dogmas, I would attend depending on the choices.
Like I said, too pragmatic for this crowd who sees it all in dark shades of black and white.
I would set up a meeting with the priest and talk to him. Explain to him that you are LCMS but you need a place to be spiritually fed. I would explain that you are not looking to enter the Church nor are you looking to cause trouble. I would think that as long as you are not disrupting classes or the mass, there is no problem with you being there.
