Warren Bird: How Megachurches Are Growing by Getting Smaller | Church3.0

Warren Bird has spent more than two decades researching America's largest churches and has authored or co-authored 35 books on church leadership. In this conversation with Tyler Vance, Warren unpacks the new Mega Church Resurgence study, a survey repeated every five years since 2000, and explains why growth today looks different than before the pandemic. Church leaders will walk away with a clearer picture of what is actually driving attendance, generosity, and discipleship in America's largest congregations. What You’ll Learn: - Why is "resurgence" the right word for what is happening in large churches today, rather than simple rebuilding - Are megachurches really a baby boomer trend that is about to fade? - How did small groups become the top discipleship priority for 94 percent of large churches - What explains the gap between small group intent and actual participation? - Why large churches can innovate faster than smaller churches after the pandemic - How leadership residencies are training the next generation of pastors - Is online giving outpacing attendance growth in America's largest churches? 🔗 Learn more about Apollos: https://apollos.com/church-growth 🔗 Connect with Warren Bird: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wbird/ Subscribe for more church leadership insights, digital ministry strategies, and faith + technology conversations. #Church3Point0 #ApollosPodcast #MegachurchGrowth #ChurchLeadership #SmallGroups
