The best classes I found were at the Calvary Chapel. Their motto is "It's All About Jesus," so it's like the antivenom for Mormonism.
Anti-Mormons Dennis and Rauni Higley are ministry leaders there and teach and "Understanding Mormonism Class" which is free and they are wonderful people. Rauni translated the temple ceremony, so she had to sit up close and notice details which most of us don't, like the fact that Satan's apron has exactly the same markings as Adam's. (who cares, right?)
This is where I first learned some of the darker origins of Mormon rituals and belief.
http://www.calvaryslc.org/Ministries/CommunityandClasses/UnderstandingMormonism.aspxIt is healthy to get out there and meet people of other faiths. You will find that there are good and bad among congregations just like anything else.
The exMormons who remain Christian and are the happiest with their Christian denominations are the ones who found a small local church. This includes Catholics. Small local parishes/churches seem to stay more connected to the needs of the people and the real message of Christ.
Maybe because there isn't so much money involved?
Best of luck in your search.
