I'm personally not aware of any churches of Christ in your area. If there is not one that is preaching and teaching the truth, you should start your own congregation. I can assure you, the Baptist, Methodist, and any of the donominational congregations will not be preaching and teaching the truth.

I fear that many Churches of Christ know the few things that distinguish them from other "Christians," but are really completely spiritually dead.

I think you may be still confused as to exactly what the church of Christ is. It is impossible for the "church of Christ" to be "spiritually dead". There is one thing for sure, they are "few", which may cause some people to think they are spiritually dead. There are no other "Christians" than those that are a member of the church of Christ. This is something that I believe you'll have to fully understand before you can proceed in truth. I'm not sure how much more it can be explained than above, but it may be helpful if you would re-read the posts above.
As far as pacifism... I've not given it much thought, but I'm not sure where the Bible states someone in the military cannot be a Christian. I know God has led several armies to war.
