Fort Lauderdale Churches Embrace People Of All Nationalities And Faiths

By Michael Thompson


People of all nations, colors, and beliefs call metropolitan south Florida home. This area is one of the most densely populated in the entire United States. If you are moving here because of a job transfer or because you want to start a new adventure in your life, you will be impressed with the richness of the culture, the variety of cuisine available, and the entertainment options found everywhere. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and all others of faith will welcome you to their Fort Lauderdale churches, synagogues, and mosques.

There are probably more Baptists in the South than almost anywhere else on earth. South Florida is home to many of them. If you are a Baptist, or considering becoming one, you won't have to look far to find a welcoming church home. First Baptist is a great big church that likes to think of itself has having small town values with the diversity found in urban areas. People from all over the world come to worship here.

Calvary Chapel appeals to many different age groups. You can attend Sunday service in jeans and a tee shirt, and nobody will mind. Everyone is welcome, no matter what they wear. If you have just moved to the city, Calvary offers lots of groups you can get involved in. There are Bible studies and community outreach projects going on all the time.

If you grew up in a Christian household that believed in strict adherence to Biblical teachings, Gateway might be a good fit. They are non-denominational and concentrate on the gospel. This house of worship has established its own school for primary grades. You can get more information on the Christian academy from their website if you have an interest.

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.

Religious diversity is one of the hallmarks of South Florida. Its inhabitants are free to worship as they please in peace and with the respect they have earned.
