I'm Walter Ratliff with The Religion Minute. At this club, there's no twerking, no drinking, and no smoking. Their playlist covers a handful of genres, but the music is all Christian. Eric Diggs is a co-founder of the Christian Nightclub. "My dream for the cove is to be an inspiration for revival." Eric is among a group of black Christian friends in their twenties who were looking for ways to trade the altar for their mirror balls and build a welcoming space for young Christians. "Community building, allowing a place for people to come and have fun in the safe environment as we are a non-alcoholic party space, and then also people encounter God in unique and innovative ways." Sham Rivera says the cove isn't just about dancing, it's also about worship. "People have their hands lifted up, people crying and weeping and other people praying for each other." The club founders hope to go on tour across America and inspire the creation of other dance and worship clubs. I'm Walter Ratliff. "And I'm Jackie Quinn, AP News."
