CHICAGO — Willow Creek Community Church in suburban Chicago is the most influential church in America, according to The Church Report magazine. But two Southern Baptist churches were in the top five.
The annual list of the nation’s influential churches is based on a survey sent to 2,000 pastors nationwide, which asked participants to recommend up to 10 churches they considered most influential.
Other churches in the top five included Saddleback Church in California (Southern Baptist), North Point Community Church in Georgia, Fellowship Church in Texas (Southern Baptist) and Lakewood Church in Texas.
Two Alabama churches also made the list — Frazer Memorial United Methodist Church in Montgomery at No. 25 and Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham at No. 35.
