A Conversation with Thom Rainer, Part 2

Mark welcomes Thom Rainer back to the podcast to discuss the future of megachurches in North America.

• Megachurches have historically been defined as churches that have more than 2,000 in average worship attendance.


• In the future, there will be a far fewer megachurches, but they will not disappear altogether.


• There is a redefinition of megachurches taking places – some define it as more than 1,000 in worship attendance, some define it as more than 1,500.


• Why did megachurches form?


• Why the Boomers helped create the megachurch culture.


• Many institutions are fading away.
