How does it sound to you when you see the people wearing jeans, flip-flops and stylish shirts and goggles on their eyes? It’s normal, isn’t it? Of course, it’s normal, but this doesn’t sound well to the people who are standing in a church. The lessons on sex, success, and decision making in a church may seem bizarre to you but all this you get in a contemporary Christian church. This is a new movement; the movement that is known as the contemporary church movement. The motive behind the thought is to embrace the people who have completely renounced going to churches or those who never attended church in their lifetime.

The new churches that are coming into the existence are originating from the contemporary church movement. Not only the new churches but many of the existing churches are adopting the new ideology and are incorporating the contemporary practices to their old worship methods.
