daytona beach drive-in christian church

Interesting. Worth driving by or walking by as it was certainly different. I would be surprised if you will ever come across something like this in another part of the country.

What a neat concept, wasn't sure what to expect. We were greeted as we pulled and everyone was friendly. You can go inside and watch the service, sit on benches in the shade or remain in your car. We stayed in our car like most others listening to the service on the radio, the preacher is stands outside on the balcony of the building. People honked car horns in place of an "amen".

Drove in to the church, tuned to the station, listened to devotional songs and a little bit of the sermon. Interesting concept and one of a kind church. You can actually park your car and walk around in the church which I did. Unique...The trip advisor mobile app will show this attraction on the opposite side of the road. This attraction is actually on the S. Atlantic Ave opposite the ocean and not on the ocean side.

My family and I, along with our dog, attended the Christmas Eve Service at the Drive-in Church last night. It was a beautiful service. The sermon and the songs caused us to focus on the true meaning of the Holiday. Cars would honk if they liked a song or something, and standing outside of our cars with glow stick in hand singing Silent Night was a beautiful sight! This church is very friendly and the members make you feel very welcomed. It was well worth the 1 hour and 20 minute drive to attend this event.

We missed the sermon but we drove around to get an idea of how this works. Its like a drive-in theater so you hear the sermon on the drive-in speakers. I actually loved the idea. Great for tourist in the area! If we go back, we are going to make sure we don't miss it again.

Visited one Sunday morning and had such a refreshing experience that my wife n I decided to go often. The sermons are inspiring, And the messages are encouraging. Would recommend visiting this Drive In Church, very unique setting

Right across Atlantic Avenue and just south of the city, a Christian Church has built a unique sanctuary -- a drive-in theater. Pull in with you car, facing the chancel with its pulpit and table, and worship in a very different venue. There are two worship services with an educational program sandwiched in between. Ushers don't worry about seating; they are concerned about helping you find a place to park. The drive-in style of worship is a bit distracting initially, but that quickly fades as the service begins and the focus turns to God for the familiar sense of being linked to the holy. You may come for the novelty, but will soon find yourself surrounded by worshippers who are there for the spiritual.

Had an excellent time at the Daytona Beach Drive In Christian Church a couple of weeks ago while on vacation there. This church was established in the 1950's. It's a unique way to "come as you are"...The word delivered from the balcony was solid and biblically based (tune into 88.3 FM to be able to hear it from your car). Whenever it was time to "clap" for the singer or say "amen" to the preacher, you would just honk your horn. The sacraments were handed to you at the gate. Thoroughly enjoyed this unique way to worship.

Now this is my kind of church!! We drove there when service was not in, looks very different, I hope to come back sometime when services are on!! Let me say, if we had this at home I would attend regularly!

We attended and were greeted when we arrived at the gate with brochures, and items for the Lords supper. You park your car just like at a drive in theater but you listen to the sermon on the radio(88.5 FM). This is a very creative and fun to worship Jesus. It is a clever way for a church to invite and minister to the thousands of tourists that go to Daytona Beach. The service was both fun and had substance. Worth visiting.

yes just like a Drive In theater, very unusual but a novel idea. The speakers are loud enough sermon good and no pressure for anything. Services are at 8:30 and 11:30 great times for worship.

We were on vacation in Daytona Beach Shores and looking for a place of worship when we stumbled upon this amazing drive-in church. We went out one day just driving around and actually drove by it saying to each other "did that sign really say drive-in church"?! So we turned around and sure enough that's what it was! Being from The North where you see nothing like this, we were so intrigued that we did some research online and found out that this type of worship was very popular and had been operating in this area for many years. We couldn't wait for Sunday to come so we could make history amongst our friends and family back home. We had a most enjoyable visit at this church and look forward to visiting again. If you are ever in the Daytona area, you MUST visit this drive-in church for an experience you won't soon forget!

Come as you are, and worship in your car. Coffee and donuts available in social hall. Communion every Sunday. Heard three great sermons in a more than unique setting. I highly recommend this experience! 8:30 and 10:30 services.

Beautiful miles and miles of beach. It was quiet when I visited which is just before the spring break.I like the idea of driving my car along the beach. It was enjoyable and admission is only $5 to drive there and swim all day.The beach is very clean. It has some facilities for rinsing and maybe using the washrooms however they could be a few and far between for the beach as long as Daytona.I recommend.

A great spot to worship. You are not without church while on vacation. All are welcomed and you do not have to feel out of place, as you are in your car. Tune in on the radio so you can hear and sing along if you want.
