Show moreCoral Ridge Presbyterian Church, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a large, conservative, evangelical church. The church has gained national and international recognition for several reasons. Beginning in 1965 and for several years, the church was the fastest growing Presbyterian church in the United States. The pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy, developed a lay evangelism program called "Evangelism Explosion," and churches in over 160 nations have adopted the method. Kennedy also has a television ministry. Additionally, Coral Ridge developed a large and active music ministry, built a Christian day school, and founded Knox Theological Seminary. These ministries are a result of Kennedy's leadership, Coral Ridge's approach to lay evangelism, and the application of Calvinism.
