Florida Megachurch Axes Traditional Service; Ends Separation Based on Age, Likes, Comfort

The Christian Post website reports today (August 29, 2010) that a Florida megachurch has axed its traditional and contemporary Sunday worship services, refusing to continue down the wide path of segregated worship.

Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale now offers only one service at 10:15 a.m. with essentially blended worship -- meaning no more separation based on age, likes, and comfort.

The aim of the church leaders -- including Senior Pastor Tullian Tchividjian -- is to unite the congregation and demonstrate the power of the Gospel.

"The best way a church can demonstrate unifying power of the Gospel before our very segregated world is to maintain a community that transcends cultural barriers," Tchividjian said in a sermon earlier this month.
