It’s not a Saturday night Incubus concert. ‘ ' In fact, it’s anything but.
It’s. Sunday morning, the lyrics ofthe rock song sing, “Hal- lelujah, to the Lord ofheaven and earth,” teenagers sing along to the words flashed on power-point slides, and the makeshift stage is set-up in agym ofa Christian school temporarilyhous— ing Hope Community Church. It’s not traditional, but Hope and churches like it are pop- ping up across the Triangle and country and are attracting a population that traditional Christian churches haven’t quite been able to reach —— highschool and college students. Kathleen Cunningham, a NCSU professor that teaches a course on Christianity, claims these contemporary, non-de- nominational churches like Hope “are very popular among young people.” For any visitor to Hope, that’s no secret. With three services and an' ever—growing following, nearly a third of the people attending Hope’s service at 11:15 a.m. are college and high school students. At traditional area churches they’re lucky if one-tenth ofthe attendees are below the age of25. While pop—culture reigns, contemporary churches have found ways to keep up with the changing times and the gen— erations changingwith it. The services are a far cry from those oftraditional, mainstream denominations that have remained relatively static for centuries. Jason Brown, a freshman in wildlife science, describes Hope as “modern” and attributes that aspect to the church’s appeal to young people. . This modern appeal that makes Jesus a bit more hip and teen-friendly is undeniably attracting young people. With NCSU campus ministries and churches like Campus Crusade for Christ, Grace Christian Life and Charisma Campus Min- istries also growing in popularity, the contemporary trends are evident in the Christian Community and are changing the face ofthe religion.

The major claim is Irvin finds that Hope provides a “positive” message that that the perception ofGod is being shaped to popular culture in attracts new people rather than “hellfire and brimstone—like order to make Christianitymore appealing, thus undermining sermons” attributed to her Baptist upbringing. the real value, understanding, reverence and perception that Laughing, she said, “IfI were going to church for the first Christians should have. time, it [that type ofsermon] would be incredibly disturbing These non—denominational, contemporary ministries are to hear.

Delivering a sermon on discipline, Lee sits in a chair on-stage dressed in nice slacks and a short-sleeve T—shirt. He speaks ofthe prophet Zachariah, telling howhe was disci- plined enough to pray to God three times a day.
