A multitude of languages are spoken, and many people retain the habits and culture of their ancestors. They may pray in different ways and at different times, but most respect the traditions of other religious orders. For individuals about to make the move to this unique part of the country, finding a place to worship where they feel comfortable and accepted is very important. Fort Lauderdale churches want to you to take a look at what they have to offer.

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 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.

Jewish culture and heritage has a strong foothold in this part of the state. There many centers and synagogues where believers go to attend regular services and holy days. Conservative, traditional Jews should feel right at home at Temple Beth Israel. Others who have more liberal beliefs may be more attracted to Temple Bat Yam, a reform temple.

The churches here encourage visitors and welcome the opportunity to go to know them better. Whether you are a committed member of a specific denomination or someone who prefers a non-denominational atmosphere, you will be sure to find a spiritual home in this great part of this country.
