Teacher First: Leadership Network’s 2009 Survey of Large-Church Senior Pastors

Megachurch pastors are a rare breed. They represent 0.3% of North America’s churches but they draw almost 10% of weekly Protestant worshippers. Most of these churches are growing, many by a respectable level of conversion growth. They are high-visibility congregations with widespread influence. In May 2009, Leadership Network conducted a survey of 232 megachurch pastors. This report reveals some interesting insights on their unique role.
