Outreach Magazine recently published its list of the 100 largest churches in the US. Eight churches in Florida are on the list, including five here in South Florida.
As has been the case for several years, the largest church in the country is Lakewood Church in Houston, TX where Joel Osteen is the pastor.
Of the South Florida churches that made the top 100 list one is in Palm Beach County, two are in Broward and two are in Miami-Dade.
The Palm Beach County church, Christ Fellowship Church of Palm Beach Gardens, was 13th on the list with 18,965 members.
The 14th largest church in the country is found in Broward County, Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale with 18,521 members. Also on the list from Broward County is Church of the Glades from Coral Springs. The Church of the Glades is the 87th largest church in the US with 6,457 people.
The two Miami-Dade County churches in the top 100 are only about five miles from each other in southwest Miami Dade. King Jesus (El Rey Jesus) Ministries is the 30th largest church in the top 100 list with 12,540 people. Christ Fellowship Church of Palmetto Bay was on the list at number 62 with 8,098 members.
The other Florida churches that made the list of the 100 largest were: Celebration Church in Jacksonville (#37 with 11,096 members), First Assembly of God in Fort Myers (#70 with 7,462 members) and Grace Family Church in Lutz (#95 with 6,187 members).
In the next blog I'll report on the six Florida churches on the list of 100 fastest growing churches, one of which is here in South Florida.
