Default Need recommendation for contemporary church service

We just moved to the village of Fenney 3 wks ago from PA and are looking for a casual contemporary church service. We'd like one that has a contemporary band playing current christian or secular music, not a choir singing traditional hymns. Also like to be comfortable wearing jeans and hearing a message that is relevant to today's times.

We don't mean any disrespect to traditional type of church services and what others like. Can anyone suggest some contemporary church services we might be interested in? Thanks.

St. Timothy's. Wait they don't have a band, but they have the rest. AND they have services every day of the week. See you at seven thirty A.M.?

We would be happy to welcome you at Live Oaks Community Church located behind WalMart on 466. I think we would fit your bill nicely.

We are fortunate to have so many wonderful churches in TV.

This is the Church we told you about. We've visited there 3 times. Will be back again when back at the Villages.

Grace Tabernacle would likely be a good fit for you and it would be a very easy ride for you from Fenney.

Brenda we did attend Live Oaks yesterday but I'm not sure it's the right fit for us. Sherry and I were about the only ones wearing jeans, so we felt a little out of place. And the band didn't seem to play contemporary music. They said they were playing requests that day. Is it possible this was just a different week from the type of music they usually play? Also they had an associate pastor giving they message that day, so maybe we need to go and hear the regular pastor?

Or maybe we just come from a very casual church in PA and we're not used to a structured type of church anymore. Our church in PA doesn't even accept members, you just come as you are when you want to come. Our band in PA is contemporary instruments playing all contemporary christian and secular music that fits the message for that day. Our church is so casual they don't even pass a plate for collections, instead they just have a few collection boxes around the lobby. Heck our pastor even wears discs in his ears and has tattoos up and down his arms. I have a feeling he might freak a lot of people out if he was a pastor here in the villages..lol.

So I'm not sure we'll be able to find that kind of church here or not. But maybe we have to give Live Oaks a couple more tries. Hopefully we'll find something we like.

We miss seeing you guys. Hope you're doing well. Any idea when you'll be coming back to FL?

I wear jeans every Sunday, but I feel overdressed compared to my friends who wear shorts.

Hi John, I would give the church another try. Steve and I have enjoyed it when we have visited. As far as when we are coming back...hopefully April for Spring break! We miss you both as well.

You could give New Covenant Methodist Church at Eisenhower Rec Center a try. Even the pastor wears jeans. They recently broke ground on a new building on 44A.

Take a look at Church@The Springs - they have a website that you can 'see' what a visit looks like.

Welcome to Northlake Presbyterian 9:30 service. It will fit your bill. Wonderful contemporary music with a band. Even tables where you can sit with a cup of coffee. Our pastors are fantastic also. We are located behind Home Depot on 441. Definitely relevant sermons.
