NY Times wrote a story last week on Megachurches in America, and how they create and operate their own economy. Huh, ministry through business. Interesting concept.
NY Times defines "MEGA"church being a church over 2,000 members. To the left is a map created by NY Times showing the geographical representation of those churches. I was asked this weekend by a reader what I thought about working for a Megachurch. Honestly, it doesn't feel megachurch. CF has five campuses. All of the campuses are healthy, growing, vibrant. Aside from the Palmetto Bay campus, all the campuses are no where near that 2,000 number.
I guess that's the idea of the multi-site model. You get intimacy in ministry, but the programs and resources of a true "megachurch". That's the beauty of CF. There are five different campuses. Five distinct styles. One church.
Unless I'm really unaware of where Miami is on the map, I don't think we are listed on the NTY map. Oh well.
Thank you, God, for an opportunity to serve you. Allow us to impact Miami, not for our glory, but for Yours.
