a drive in church volunteer offers "service" kits when parishioners arrive by car.
The kits contain reason juice, bread, the morning program and an instruction leaflet to adjust the car radios.

Reverend Rob gathers before the service begins, on the mezzanine overlooking the parking lot. The microphone suspended on the left allows the sermon to be broadcast live on 88.5 FM.

Members of the Christian Surfers come to follow the mass and communicate before going to surf the Floridian beaches.

The Bread is of unusual size to be clearly visible during the Holy supper.

The cross on the pediment did not come off after the last hurricane. It is a "Portate Cross" ( from the Latin "portare" meaning to carry). It is a reference to Jesus carrying his cross to Calvary.

Every Sunday, Pastor Rob speaks on the balcony of the Christian Drive Inn Church in front of a crowd of cars. The sermon is broadcast live on 88.5 FM bandwidth.

The choir sings under the microphones that broadcast the mass live on the FM band

Let us embark with this young couple on board a nice convertible to attend the second service on Sunday morning.
Under the car radio that spits on 88.5 FM the sermon of Pastor Rob, you guess small plastic white capsules filled with grape juice for Holy supper.

This parishioner is about to give her dog one of the little cups containing grape juice for communion. They are distributed on arrival in the parking lot of the Drive-In Church with the complete kit including the bread, an explanatory note to regulate your car radio on the station of the sermon and the program of the prayers of the day.
"What's really great about the Drive-In Church is that I can come with my dog Arlene and she loves the blood of Christ".

Volunteer parishioners pass between the cars to make the quest.

IN GOD WE TRUST SERIES

THE DRIVE IN CHRISTIAN CHURCH

This report is part of « In God we trust »series.
[ In God we trust ] is an exploration of American society through a religious prism.

Come and pray without leaving your air-conditioned car at the Christian Drive-In Church in Daytona Beach. For 63 years
the church of the faithful of Jesus has gathered on the lawn of an old outdoor cinema in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Drive-In Church offers two services every Sunday morning. Whether it rains or sells, the cars come to park in front of an
altar on a balcony and listen to the sermon broadcast on a radio wave reserved 88.5 FM.
As the churches empty, more than 600 parishioners come every weekend to enjoy the mass, comfortably settled in
their air-conditioned car, some still in pajama or ready for the beach.
They can come dressed as they like, take with them their pets. And stay in the privacy of their car.
To reconnect with the other parishioners, the Drive-In Church offers a service between the two departments to gather
around a café and donuts.
