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.

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 your beliefs have led you to a strict adherence to the Bible, you might want to visit Gateway. They consider themselves non-denominational, and welcome everyone with open arms. Families with young children should check out the Christian academy they run. It offers an academic curriculum within a Christian environment.

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 Spain's religious influence is nowhere more apparent than at the Ancient Spanish Missionary. Entering the mission will take you back to the days of Ponce de Leon with its vaulted ceilings and Gothic arches. They have a vibrant ministry as well. Services are open to everyone, and you are not expected to participate in the kneeling and rising rituals unless you feel comfortable doing so.

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.

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.
