Drive-In Church Service Aims for Newcomers
- Share via
YORK, Pa. — Maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise in a nation of motorists, but Temple Baptist Church in York Township has been offering a drive-in worship service.
Much like a drive-in movie, congregants sit in cars in the church parking lot and listen to the service on a low-power radio broadcast. The signal cannot be heard beyond the lot.
The goal is to draw people who have never been to church.
“You could come in your housecoat if you wanted to,” said the Rev. Bob Hylton, interim pastor. “It provides the anonymity that some folks may be looking for.”
