There are plenty of bible believing churches in this country with all sorts of styles of worship. We are indeed quite fortunate in that regard.

Our Southern Baptist church still has the piano and organ. It is a very conservative church with a mission to see souls saved, but will not bend from the Word to do it. We have announcements, a prayer then sing from the Baptist hymnal, usually a couple of songs, then music for the offering and a choir special, then its the pastor and the sermon.

Usually on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at the end of the service they have special prayers for the sick, elderly etc... and the pastor will call the men of the church to come forward and anoint those who ask with oil and lay hands and pray for their requested needs.

I run our sound room and from time to time am called on to play music during the offering and I will sneak a newer song into the mix. I played Amazing Grace My Chains are gone one morning during the offering and had members of the choir singing and shouting, the pastor and church had never witnessed shouting during an offering before. That being said a praise and worship setup wouldn’t go over well at our church.

I myself am not a gospel music fan, traditional or contemporary. My wife leans more towards the contemporary and likes it when new music is introduced.
