2019 Largest Churches in America
The shape of the American megachurch is constantly shifting.
What are the churches at the forefront of the movement and how are they innovating?
Each year, Outreach magazine teams up with LifeWay Research to identify rapidly growing churches—of those, the Largest Participating Churches are ranked by size and listed here. We then collaborate with those churches on interviews as we seek to gain insight from their leadership on a wide range of issues.
