Much progress is being made in inter-church and interdenominational co-operation and unity.

However, the trend is often not mirrored within individual fellowships. Sadly, much of this disunity is split along generational lines and many churches are finding it difficult to 'keep everyone happy'.

Tensions that exist, often surrounding the issue of 'worship style', have caused many churches to adopt a pattern of three or even more different services to cater for the various preferences each Sunday. Advocates of this approach point out that in many cases churches that have adopted this pattern of niche services are growing. It is on this basis that the approach is then justified.
