[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're non-denominational Christian with an emphasis on contemporary music, like Christian rock. They always have a pastor who is a good speaker and has charisma and star quality. He interprets a Bible passage and speaks a long time
They usually get political too. Some believe in eschatology but this emphasis has changed. People come for this person and the music. There are also a lot of ministries for different ages or recovery and singles and things like that so they provide a social life. They believe in being born again and personal testimony. There is nothing that you might find in a traditional church like communion, old hymns, etc. They were born out of the Jesus movement (or Jesus Freaks) in California in the 1960s-70s. They overlap somewhat with southern churches and the prosperity gospel which are similar but they really come more from the CA tradition. They are everywhere in southern CA. Pastoral staff leave a church and start one of their own and people follow. They sprout up, grow and die. It's a formula.[/quote]

Nobody even knows the name of the church in question, not even op, but you know all that about it?

Tell us the name of the church in question and who the pastor is. [/quote]
