Offended by church fundraising...should we stay or go?

Our pastor seems to be obsessed with growing a megachurch. Our once-sweet, intimate, worship services are turning into flashy, 4-screened, shallow shows. Now the pastor wants to build a brand new million dollar worship arena, and has hired a professional fundraiser to manipulate people into giving. It is so disappointing. We are not donating one penny. But this is the church we joined with the intention of raising our children in and serving & worshipping in for generations to come. Should we stay or should we move on? If we do leave, what example are we setting for our kids? I mean, we never intended to become church-hoppers... Has anyone else out there dealt with this???
