How big is your church?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

As Skid said our family lives on an island so our "church" is just our family, and sometimes visiting relatives.

Normal attendance in my church is 70-80, and that's comfortably full. We can squeeze lots more in though.

The church we attend seats about 300 and we average about 250.
Thanks Darth Birdie for the HSE, and DanP740 for the HUGE donation.

I don't like to call the building 'church' because the church is the Christians gathered together.

Now my church has three separate buildings in separate locations and the main building holds about 400. Our church has about 150 members but attendance averages about 160 each week.

The two other buildings have worship once to twice a month (if I'm correct).

Our worship center holds 1335 people, and we have around 3,700 people attending every Sunday. Very, very large.

14,000? :thud:



Depending on which church we go to, we either have around 100 or 40ish.

hope it wasn't a contest! I've been in smaller churches before, but know I'm called to be at New Life, at present.

(love that Dr. Watson pic... the old Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce movies were awesome)

I'd have to say 350 give or take a few. We have an awesome ghetto church, which is a branch off Chalvery Chapel. \:D/
