Drawing on extensive, broad-based, and well-designed research, as well as stories and anecdotes, Beyond Megachurch Myths dispels
popluar myths about megachurches while highlighting the diversity within the megachurch phenomenon. Defining a megachurch
as a Protestant church that averages at least 2000 total attendees in their weekend services, Scott Thumma and Dave Travis
reveal what these churches are and are not, why they are thriving, what their members say about their experiences, and why
they have many valuable lessons to teach smaller churches.
