Megachurches continue to grow
According
to ChristianToday.com, megachurches in America and around the world are gaining
more members. More than 1.6 million people reportedly attend America’s
megachurches each week.
Churches
in America are not the largest in the world, however. Megachurches in Korea,
Argentina, Nigeria, and other places in Africa have even larger memberships.
Dr.
John Vaughan of Church Growth Today found
that the current church growth rate is five times what it was in the year 2000.
Research
also showed that America’s largest churches have an average weekly attendance
of 9,000 people. Some churches in Africa, however, reported more than
20,000 people in weekly attendance.
In
the U.S., Lakewood church in Houston, Texas, pastored by Joel Osteen and
LifeChurch in Edmond, Oklahoma top the list of the U.S.’s largest
megachurches.
Lakewood
Church has more than 52,000 worshippers every week, and Life.Church has a
combined 70,000 total worshippers each week at its 21 campuses across seven
states.
Vaughan
stated that, through his research, he has identified the upcoming 150 emerging
megachurches, and says he is encouraged to note that many good pastors are
being raised up to lead these churches.
