Is it ok to stay in my church

First I want to say I do not mean to disrespect any progressive Christians or theologically liberal Christians.I attend and have grown up in a ELCA Lutheran church, and I know the ELCA is a theologically liberal synod, but my theological views are conservative, specifically regarding Homosexuality as a sin. I know that most ELCA churches don’t view homosexuality as a sin, but there are still churches apart of the ELCA who still does. My specific church seems to be theologically conservative, we have an all male clergy, have a traditional liturgy, and what I see to be a very true message. I am not 100% sure what my pastors views are on homosexuality, but even if he did believe it was not a sin, the church service isn’t at all affected by that belief. I have seen what a LCMS church service was like, which is a very theologically conservative Lutheran synod, and there is very minimal differences between that service and my churches service. I have a great relationship with the people at my church, and if it wasn’t for my pastors help, I wouldn’t even be pursuing a Theology degree in college right now. It would be really hard for me to leave unless I had a really good reason to. I guess the overall question I’m asking is, is it ok to stay apart of a church that I feel comfortable and believe is teaching the truth, even though I disagree with the organization it is apart of.
