It is not a sin to change church provided you are still in Christ. In fact you will likely fall into sin if you are worshipping in the wrong church.
Consider these things:
1. Lack of spiritual growth and drive.
When your spirit man is not been fed in word and worship, you need to move before you starve. If you are living in sin and sitting comfortably in church, you need a new church. If you are not challenged to conquer more land for Christ, you need to move on with haste.
2. Lack of opportunity to work.
Church attendance is good but it is elementary in the plan of God. God is looking for labourers not bench warmers. If you cannot seem to find grace to be attively involved in the work of the ministry, then you need to move. There are no credits for idleness, everyman must get involved.
3. Lack of restraint from church politics.
There are some people whose tables are the center of church affairs. Such people know everything about everything and everyone; in fact every disagreement starts and ends in their presence. If you are in this category, then you need to RUN for your life.
4. Lack of faith in the leadership.
If you don't believe in your pastor or have reservations about his calling, then don't waste your time and efforts - move! Your pastor is the principal human messenger of God to you. If you doubt the messenger, you cannot believe the message. If you believe the message, it cannot work for you.
5. Lack of personal development.
Church is for all round development. Don't become heavenly conscious and earthly useless. If you take stock of your life and can't identify substantial progress and personal achievement even after working confidently in the teachings then you need a new church.
P.S. God has a specific place for you. If things are not working where God has destined you to be, there is work for you to do. Don't move without hearing from God, stay and work if He asks you to stay. Don't go where God did not send you. STAY WHERE GOD HAS PUT YOU!
