Some churches let it rock at services

Move over Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Pete Townshend. Worship music at some evangelical churches is cranking up, driven by electric guitars.

Many churches long have provided services that appeal to their congregants’ musical interests: traditional, contemporary or blended. Now, some of them also have expanded into rock-style worship.

It’s not so loud that you need earplugs, but we’re talking the sounds of alternative pop rock, straight rock, pop punk and indie rock.
