Mega Churches make billions – All tax free
There are Churches, then there are
MEGA CHURCHES
and they make Mega Money
Churches across America – like shopping malls, houses, corporations, hospitals, schools and just about everything else – have erupted in size in the last few decades. The number of megachurches in the U.S. has leaped to more than 1,300 today – from just 50 in 1970.
Featuring huge stages, rock bands, jumbotron screens, buckets of tears and oodles of money, as well as the enormity of the facilities, pastor personalities and income – over $8.5 billion a year all told – these churches are impressive forces flourishing at staggering rates.
On a megachurch database updated by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut, Second Baptist in Houston is listed as the second-largest based on average weekly attendance. (No. 1 is Lakewood Church, five miles from Second Baptist. And rounding out the top 10 are North Point Community Church, near Atlanta; Willow Creek Community Church, near Chicago; LifeChurch.tv, of Edmond, Okla.; West Angeles Church of God in Christ, Los Angeles; Fellowship Church, of Grapevine, Texas; Saddleback Valley Community Church of Lake Forest, Calif.; Calvary Chapel, of Ft. Lauderdale; and The Potter’s House, of Dallas.)
