What makes a Mega Church?
The number of mega churches with weekly attendance of 2,000 or more doubled over the past five years. The nation’s mega churches, which now number 1,210 (16% are Southern Baptist), draw nearly 4.4 million people a week and collect more than $7 billion a year in donations. The study Mega Churches 2005 found that most mega churches share the common traits of a dynamic senior pastor, emphasis on conservative values and building small groups to offset their size.
