Wow. Outreach Magazine has named us #27 of the fastest growing churches in the U.S. for 2007. That's up from #39 last year. According to the data - apparently we supplied to them - our attendance had grown 7%. (Which includes the SC site.) That means we added 1,405 to the overall attendance since last year. The magazine also lists us as the 4th largest church in America with 22,000 regular attenders. (20,595 - #6 in ‘06)
It is just a list - and Ed Stetzer says it best "Please remember, lists are not for comparison. They are for learning and, hopefully, encouragement. Our desire is that you might learn from these churches, see how God is at work, rejoice with them, and then find God's unique vision for your church: whether it meets in a coffee shop or a cathedral."
Are you encouraged?
