Traditional versus Contemporary Churches...

I have been reading a discussion on another blog about church. They talked about their experience last week at a "contemporary" church and seem to be kinda critical about the fact that they put so much into getting "warm bodies" there. They said they spend too much money on church advertising and doing what it takes to get people in the doors.

Isn't that the point? Get the word to the people! Why don't we use the internet, live worship bands, donuts, moonbounces, etc. to reach the people that wouldn't normally go to any church.

I can understand liking a more traditional setting, too. I grew up in those type of churches. It is hard to reach the lost in those type of churches, too. You can reach them...yes. Mostly, you look at the attendance at the "traditional" churches and it is mostly people that have already accepted Christ in their lives.

My point isn't to bad mouth one style of church versus the other....it is all the family of God. My entire point behind this post is just that. If you don't like one style versus the other...don't criticize it....just don't attend. You can find one that fits your style. How can we criticize anything that is reaching people and bringing people to Christ? If one (yet alone thousands) have found Christ in either style church....how is it wrong!?!?
