Derick Dillard shared an unconventional church service he took part in. On Christmas Eve, he took to Instagram to share a clip that shocked fans. It’s not the kind of church service that even the Duggar family would attend. As fans already know, Derick is married to Jill Duggar.

She’s one of the many kids in the ever-growing Duggar family, who are devout Baptists. On 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, they would often share their views on their faith, which has its share of controversy. For example, the sisters aren’t allowed to wear pants and can’t listen to any modern music.

Derick Dillard shares Christmas Eve service

On Friday, December 24, Derick took to Instagram to share a clip from this unusual church service. It looked like something out of a rock concert. In his Instagram video, people are dancing on stage and performing for a huge crowd. Neon lights flash as the lead singer performs an electrifying version of Andy Williams’ classic song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

The lead singer wears a red two-piece suit. What’s also interesting is that the singer is rocking long hair. He looks as if he’s a rock star. It’s an unconventional church service, especially when it comes to the Duggars.

Fans flocked to the comment section to share their thoughts. One fan wondered why Derick chose this particular song to feature in his Instagram post. The user thinks he knew the kind of reaction he would get. Meanwhile, other fans speculated about whether they would attend such a church service.

  • “Give me a quiet church with old-fashioned carols.”
  • “I am so glad I am Catholic. Quiet song of prayer. … I never got into this stuff.”
  • “Too much like a rock concert for me…to each his own.”
  • “So sad that the only way to get people to attend church is to do this.”
  • “Church has evolved, younger generation. Rock on.”

Derick tagged Cross Church in his Instagram post. According to the official website, there are three locations in Northwest Arkansas, each of which has “7 amazing worship experiences to choose from.” Cross Church promises to deliver a “God-inspired message from the Bible.” Yet, fans weren’t feeling it in Derick’s post.

  1. God doesnt care about the abode…just that there is a place for love and worship. Coming together. To celebrate. Its all good. Don’t judge lest ye shall…..

  2. I think these type of church services are great! This is what people need today especially to bring our young people to the Lord. We can’t just keep doing the same old thing. Traditional church services are becoming empty attendance wise.
