Fort Lauderdale Churches Embrace People Of All Nationalities And Faiths

By Michael Thompson


Metropolitan South Florida is one of the most densely populated regions in the United States. Millions of people of almost every nationality and every faith live, work and worship here. Each day more people arrive to make this vibrant area their home. If you plan to into the area, relocating for business or just because you love this part of the country, you will have many decisions to make. For people of faith, looking for a church home, Fort Lauderdale churches are waiting to welcome you.

Florida is a southern state, and there are more Baptists in the South than in anywhere else in the country. It stands to reason that you will not have a hard time finding a church of this denomination. First Baptist is located right downtown, and it one of the largest worship houses in this city. It has a huge campus and an extremely diverse congregation including many different nationalities.

Calvary Chapel is another popular Baptist church with an aggressive community outreach program. There are a variety of groups with specific interests and goals actively working on projects both spiritual and secular. There is no dress code for services, and attendees are encouraged to come in whatever clothes make them comfortable. If you are unable to attend Sunday worship, it is no problem. This church holds services on Saturdays and Wednesdays every week.

If your beliefs have led you to a strict adherence to the Bible, you might want to visit Gateway. They consider themselves non-denominational, and welcome everyone with open arms. Families with young children should check out the Christian academy they run. It offers an academic curriculum within a Christian environment.

If you are of the Catholic faith, Our Lady of the Rosary has several different locations in the area for you to choose from. It was established shortly after the Second Vatican Council. The parish is very traditional in its views and the masses it conducts. In order to serve the needs of such a diverse population, mass texts in Latin, English, Spanish, French, and Italian are available.

The Ancient Spanish Monastery is a tourist attraction as well as an active ministry. It holds regular services in its sanctuary where everyone within the congregation is welcome to participate by conventional kneeling and rising or by sitting quietly and respectfully. The members are comprised of about equal parts Spanish, black and white. Even if you do not attend mass, you should visit to take a look at the impressive architecture.

The Jewish community is alive and well in south Florida, and you will find a multitude of synagogues with differing views and attitudes. Traditional conservative Jews will want to visit Temple Beth Israel. It has been an active part of this city for fifty years. Temple Bat Yam, on the other hand, appeals to the liberal reform believers.

Moving to a new city and making new friends can be very stressful. Attending a house of worship and participating in activities available there, can be a great way to get to know like minded people in your community.
