    Researcher Published by CQ Press, a division of Congressional Quarterly Inc. CQ www.cqresearcher.com Rise of Megachurches Are they straying too far from their religious mission? ince the 1970s, the number of so-called megachurches — churches that attract at least 2,000 people to weekly services — has been exploding in the United States and abroad, particularly in Latin America, Africa and SAsia. Many of the more than 1,200 U.S. megachurches sit on large suburban campuses and boast vast sanctuaries with multiple large TV screens and other high-tech amenities. Several serve meals at their own sprawling food courts and cafés and offer gymnasiums and other facilities. Megachurches are typically Protestant evangelical and espouse conservative positions on social issues.

  • 8 My Heart Became Deeply Motivated to Study the Growing Trend Of
    8 CHAPTER 1 PASTORAL ATTRITION AND PERSONAL MOTIVATION My heart became deeply motivated to study the growing trend of pastoral attrition after my church, my family, and I experienced a unique set of trials and a period of adversity that stretched into a five-year roller coaster of difficulties. It was cathartic to embark on this study—as difficult as the subject matter is—in view of my personal experience. Now I invite you to join me. As we study the reasons for pastoral attrition, we will hear, repeatedly, the oft-cited reason for collapse or quitting: “ministry pressure.” This is certainly a source of stress and difficulty, but it is not a credible reason for leaving the ministry. God’s grace is sufficient to carry us through the most difficult of circumstances. he spiritual giants profiled in chapter 6 prove that God’s promises can be counted on regardless of the arduous task of our ministries. My personal experience is another reminder of how the Lord can sustain and even open larger doors of ministry service through what is perceived as the worst disappointments. It is this personal motivation that prompted me to include here the details of my own ministry challenge along with the honest recommendations that spring from what I learned. There is no specific seminary course that covered the tumultuous terrain I found myself in as I labored to build a church for Jesus Christ.Acadia Divinity College’s Doctor of Ministry Handbook clarifies exactly what the D. Min. degree is. In addition to being a professional, advanced, and practical degree, it is also an integrated degree.
