Annual Megachurch Lists

5/15/2009

 

In 1997 CHRISTIAN STANDARD began publishing an annual listing of churches in our fellowship that averaged 1,000 or more in weekly worship attendance during the previous year. The list has grown each year.

Beginning with the 2005 list (published April 9, 2006), the magazine took a nod from national church growth writers and changed our definition of megachurch.

Henceforth, a church averaging 2,000 or more in weekly worship attendance is considered a megachurch, while a church averaging 1,000 to 1,999 weekly is considered an emerging megachurch. (As with previous years, the 2005 and 2006 lists include all churches averaging 1,000 or more.)
