For those recommending The Venues or Brentwood, those are awesome churches, but there is no way OP’s parents will be up for that. And OP may not even feel comfortable there themselves. My suggestion, as a mom who used to be conservative Christian, it was very important to me to find a church that helped my kids spiritually and where they felt like they could make friends. If you talk to them honestly, outside of the situation, maybe at dinner one night, and just tell them the things that make it hard for you and what type of church you might like better and that might help you grow, I have a feeling they’d be open to listening. How long have you guys been going there? That might also play into their decision. Either way, if my child were telling me they were really unhappy at a church, I would be open to trying somewhere else bc it was so important to me to find a place that was a good fit for all of us. Hugs to you!
