With churches across America shuttered for services, some congregations have developed drive-in services in an attempt to quickly fill the void.

Hundreds of thousands of churches across the U.S. have been forced to suspend their weekly services as officials ordered strict restrictions to help contain the spread of coronavirus.

But in such a time of uncertainty, communities are finding creative ways to still get together while still respecting social distancing rules.

Despite the ingenuity, hundreds of people still managed to flout Louisiana's COVID-19 ban on gatherings and attended one of three church services in Baton Rouge despite warnings from the state's governor.

An estimated 500 people of all ages filed inside the mustard-yellow and beige Life Tabernacle church in Central, a city of nearly 29,000 outside Baton Rouge.

Paul Quinn, a resident of Central who lives near the church, said the church service was a health hazard.

'Other congregations are using the Internet, Skype, and other safe ways to congregate. Why can't they? What makes them so special?' said Quinn.

'I wish state police would come out and do something. This is above our little local police level. The state needs to get involved. If they get out of church and go to the grocery store, it's a serious health hazard. They don't know how many people they're affecting, and they don't seem to care. That's a problem.'

Louisiana state police said the community cannot 'enforce' its way out of the COVID-19 pandemic and is instead 'dependent upon the responsible actions and cooperation of our citizens, businesses, and local community leaders.'
