  • vagabondrunn · 1 year ago
    We started the church in July.
    Currently we are being called about 45 people's home church.
    God is continuing to teach us and show us His direction for our church.
    Our first outreach, to let the community know that we're there, was a couple weekends ago.
    God has affirmed that this journey for Dialogue Church will be a long one.
    I'm excited.

  • donavonhill · 1 year ago
    josh lane's church has services at 2 AM! and i thought we were nuts!

    ok . . . i know that's NOT what he meant!
  • donavonhill · 1 year ago
    that's when bars quit serving alcohol - maybe that's a good time for church! maybe that's why they have 600 show up!
  • John · 1 year ago
    I would say 150-200 between two experiences at the Lifechurch.tv/Phoenix campus. I wouldn't even try and guess how many it would be if all 12 campuses were to be combined, and that isn't even considering our Internet campus.
  • Sara · 1 year ago
    We have around 100

    ... and the word chenis is HILARIOUS!
  • Kristy · 1 year ago
    This is a lot of huge churches getting role called. I have to be honest and say it's still hard for me to understand a mega church. Is it really possible to have an authentic church community/family with a stadium of 30,000 or even 3-4K? I've never been a part of a large church so I really don't know. We're around the corner for Los' Buckhead Church and running about 250 in two services.
  • joshua · 1 year ago
    8000 across three campuses
  • Scott Fillmer · 1 year ago

    Group I've grown up in and been with my whole life. Size has varied in that time from three people meeting under a lamp post on the street in the rain to around 120. Splits. People come and people go. Still trying to obey God in it all :-)

  • Stephen Stonestreet · 1 year ago
    i have about 100-150 at the moment, for youth it would be more like 30 to 40... but im actually not much apart of it anymore, more on my own being the church ive been wanting instead of trying to make the building work for the needs of everyone...

    We run 2,500 per weekend
  • brian wurzell · 1 year ago
    5500 and 5 gathering times on Sundays
  • Darrin · 1 year ago
    Church size? It depends whether or not you ask the pastor that question. If he says 1,200, they probably run about 275.

    We have 5,000 on any given Sunday (1,300).

    Still waiting for the marathon blog. Running my first in 3 weeks.
  • Teddy · 1 year ago
    250. Pretty average for us. Praying for days when we see 300 consistently. Soon I pray.

    260.

    add 10 for those in our room that think we're buckhead church.
  • Pat · 1 year ago
    I'm part of this church that's about 2 billion people strong, has several thousand campuses all over the world, and has several services throughout the day to meet all of your time-zone related needs.

    Kind of crazy when you think of it like that. Crazy to see the number of people represented here on this blog even.

    My church has about 200 peeps at it, meeting in a theatre.
  • Pat Callahan · 1 year ago
    1800 adults, 600 kids.
  • Kathryn · 1 year ago
    Between 10,000 and 11,000 on a normal Sunday. If everybody showed up at one time we'd see a lot more. Every week we grow by about 100-150. Pray for us. We're trying to keep up with everybody. :) But praise God for getting people in church so they can hear from Him. The more the better.

    4 campuses, 2 more to come in the next year, 12 services

  • Rebecca Withey · 1 year ago
    For now it's just me and my husband attending Lifechurch via the Internet Campus and whoever God puts in our living room or online. More intimate that way.
  • Ben · 1 year ago
    1,000 with 2 services. Getting ready to launch a 3rd in December.
  • Texas in Africa · 1 year ago

  • Chilly · 1 year ago
    we're somewhere between 250 and 6.5 billion, it varies from week to week (and whether we count heads or hairs)...
  • Joe Louthan · 1 year ago
    Numbers ain't crap unless you are raising disciples.

    I am not too crazy about the topics of sermons series for the last year but I have faith that my pastor will get back to expository, exegesis teaching of books of the Bible.

    But, that is just the "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" of this one follower.
  • Michiel · 1 year ago
    250, but we just had a healthy 'church-split' planting a church in one of our neighboring cities. In this church plant like 200 of our members 'moved'.
  • Bryan · 1 year ago

  • Josh Lane · 1 year ago
    donavonhill...i said "in 2 AM services" not "in a 2 AM service". however, now you've got me pondering the whole idea of having a 2 AM service.

    As usual, I'm late to the game. I've been on a blogging hiatus for awhile, both reading and writing.

    The local church we attend has about 6,000 attendees across 5 weekend services. But that is only one part of our church. The other, and I think just as important, part also happens each weekend but includes just 8 of us, 4 couples.

    We worship and learn during the church "service". We worship and grow through our chuch small group.

  • Mike Dalton · 1 year ago
    850 or so, matters when the ushers count, first ten minutes seems like there are 150 and then it's full by offering- anyone else have this issue with people showing up late? That's my next blog post by the way

    Christ Fellowship in Palm Beach Gardens: 13 - 16,000.

    Don't you love the variety? I'm tempted to say it...no, I won't.

    There's a church for everyone!
  • Derrick Henslee · 1 year ago
    22,000+ on 13 Campuses
    2,400+ on the Tulsa Campus last weekend

    LifeChurch.tv

    Oh, I added up all the entries up till this post (that took awhile!)

    What struck me was that all the people that left comments represent 486,930 attenders in local churches across the globe! That's amazing Carlos! I love how there are so many people represented here!

    The other thing that struck me was how many people don't see a number as an individual with a life, that NEEDS Jesus. Numbers directly represent people. There's a whole book in the Old Testament that emphasizes the importance of counting people! We know how many people got saved when Peter preached....that's not shallow..that's giving a testimony of what GOD has done!

    Climbing down from soap box now.
  • Heidi Reed · 1 year ago
    I think our church is up to 1000 regular attendance now. I'm not high up in ministry -- just a volunteer -- but I am friendly with the higher ups. I'm pretty sure we're growing by leaps and bounds.

    LOL on the "chenis" post after this one. You are so fun!!
  • Dawn · 1 year ago
    about 3,000 at the main campus...I don't know about the other 2...

  • Lisa @ put-it-on-the-list · 1 year ago
    I'll take a SWAG at ours... I heard there were 3200 people doing our 60-60 experiment, which represented 70% of our attendance, which puts us around 4500 adults in 5 services on 2 campuses -- Gateway Church, Austin, Texas.

    I've been there since it was ~35 people (just celebrated our 10 year anniversary). It's weird to go from literally knowing everyone at your church to not even knowing the entire staff. Amazing to see what God has done, the stories He has told in people's lives, over the last ten years, though. I'm looking forward to the next ten!
