The 100 Fastest-Growing Churches in America

The Outreach 100—a collaboration between Outreach magazine and LifeWay Research—is our attempt to identify and learn from the country’s fastest-growing churches.

The LifeWay Research team surveys churches, verifies the numbers, calculates the results and compiles the lists. The Outreach editorial team conducts interviews with many of the pastors and reports on those conversations, profiling churches and compiling features on the churches and their leadership.
