Plot
When the Hill family's regular seat in church is taken by a new family, the Hills leave their small Methodist Church and go on a search for a new parish to call home.
In the first church, an Evangelical or Pentecostal church held in a tent and led by (while apparently still trying to reform) Buck Strickland where most of the parishioners are drunk in the spirit and crazy for Jesus. They next attend a Roman Catholic church in Spanish and are confused as to when to stand or kneel, due to the language barrier. The third is a New Age/Progressive church made entirely of steel (attended by Donna) where the Hills go no further than opening the door and hearing "Day by Day" being strummed on the guitar. The fourth one is a MegaChurch, which the Hills stay with.
While getting coffee at the MegaChurch store, they run into Reverend Stroup, and words are exchanged. The Reverend is shocked to see that the Hills are church shopping, and hopes that it isn't over the pew issue. They assure her that it is indeed, along with rejecting Peggy's idea for open mic sermons. Reverend Stroup storms out, exclaiming that a new family has sat in their pew every week since their absence, and they sing, too.
The Hills take a trolley to the massive church, which they are impressed with at first. They receive much attention and are given extra duties; the coordinator gives Hank a buzzer that goes off whenever there's an activity. After a while, when the buzzer is constantly going off for their help with the church, and activities every day, the Hills go to the MegaChurch to say how they prefer a smaller church. Eventually they go back to their old church and tell the family in their old seat about the MegaChurch. The family exits the church and the Hills get their old seat and church back.
