Born in an atheist family and want to open my heart to God

Good morning everyone. I was born in a family all members of which(except for me) are atheist. I had a major crisis in my life and with the help of God i got out of it(well, I havent fully gone out of it yet but it really does get better). It all started when I noticed light flashing whenever I did an in particularly bad thing(I'd rather not write about it, it is connected with a mental issue) I saw lights flashing. There were multiple signs like that but, perhaps, this one was the most noticable. So, after that i turned to deism and started believing in God. It really did help me alot and saved my soul. Now I'm in a much better state thanks to faith/

My believes have recently turned from deism to christianity and I've started reading the bible(ESV). But I'm a little bit confused since I've never been in a church before. How do I attend a church and what do I do there? What denomination should I follow? How do I get baptised and should I?
