Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale (CCFL) is an evangelical megachurch in Florida, with over 30,000 worshipers attending on average.〔 Founded in 1985 by Bob Coy, it is affiliated with the Calvary Chapel movement. Bob Coy stepped down as "senior pastor" in 2014.〔http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail/EntityName/domnp-n24969-175d2a3d-6459-4044-b962-47ff62cf201e/calvary%20chapel/Page2〕 In addition to its main campus, CCFL has nine regional campus locations, also in Florida: Plantation, Hollywood, Boca Raton, Florida Keys (Tavernier), West Boca, Boynton Beach, Naples, North Lauderdale, and Midtown (Wilton Manors).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale )〕 Combined, these nine regional locations minister to over 25,000 on a weekly basis via video simulcast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Calvary Chapel Service Times )〕 ==History== In 1980, a 24-year-old Bob Coy left the Las Vegas music industry to become an associate pastor in that city's Calvary Chapel. Five years later, Coy headed to South Florida, and founded Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. In 1999, CCFL relocated to a tract of land formerly owned by Harris Corporation, which now has a 3,800 seat sanctuary, children and youth ministries, and includes a skateboard park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ramp 48 Indoor Skatepark )〕 In October 2003, CCFL sued Broward County for $1 for its initial refusal to allow the church to display a large cross and sign reading "Jesus is the reason for the season" in a holiday lights attraction at Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, which drew around 250,000 visitors each year. Calvary won the suit in November and was allowed to display the message. In April 2014, (Then) Senior Pastor Bob Coy resigned after confessing to a "moral failing which disqualifies him from continuing his leadership role at the church."〔〔 In May of 2014, Pastor Doug Sauder was nominated, and then confirmed by the board of directors to be the new lead pastor for Calvary Chapel Fort Laudrdale. When announced, the CCFL church body and those familiar with Pastor Doug Sauder’s spiritual character and competency, responded with unanimous support and enthusiasm. 〔http://www.calvaryftl.org/calvary-blog/succession-plan-of-pastoral-leadership-for-calvary-chapel-fort-lauderdale/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
