America’s Top Reproducing Churches

Ed Stetzer has an article in Outreach on the top reproducing churches in America. Accompanying the article is a list of the top 25. Here are the criteria behind the list:

A “Top 25” list was compiled by ranking the top 40 respondents using self-reported criteria, such as:

• the total number of church plants over the life of the church
• the average number of churches planted each year
• dollars and percentage of budget dedicated to church planting
• the number of daughter churches that have planted a new church

We also factored in a church’s influence on the entire church-planting community. This list is ultimately a celebration and an evaluation of what all these churches are doing to reach people with the Gospel.

Here are the top five:

1. Redeemer Presbyterian | New York | Tim Keller
2. Mars Hill Church | Seattle | Mark Driscoll
3. NorthWood Church | Keller, Texas | Bob Roberts
4. Perimeter Church | Duluth, GA | Randy Pope
5. Spanish River Church | Boca Raton, FL | David Nicholas

See the complete list of the top 25 (also here).
