[The Christian Post] 15 Aug 2008--Many evangelical church denominations have no megachurches, a new survey finds.

Evangelical leaders participating in the July survey of the National Association of Evangelicals reported that their denomination has few, if any, large churches.

Moreover, “none” was the top answer from evangelical leaders when asked about the role megachurches play in their denominations.

“The numbers show that megachurches are relatively few in America. They make up less than one percent of the total number of congregations,” commented Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, in a statement.

“However, they have a disproportionate influence and visibility. They are the leaders to which pastors and other church leaders look for how to do church,” he added.
