London’s megachurches are thriving and most are growing in size, in spite of overall decline in churchgoing in the UK, because of their “deep and passionate commitment” to living out their relationship with God, a new report has found.

 

There are fewer than a dozen megachurches in England’s capital but the biggest have more than 2,000 worshippers every Sunday. Some have thousands more than that.

 

Two Church of England churches, Holy Trinity Brompton, or HTB, and All Souls Langham Place are included in the megachurch report because they have more than 1,000 worshippers. Both are evangelical and HTB is home to the worldwide phenomenon of the Alpha Course.

 

The report says: “Megachurch leaders and members believe wholeheartedly in the existence of a God who wishes to engage with the world and see their reason for existence as being to testify to that world of God’s existence by representing his presence.”

 

Megachurches believe they are prospering “because of their deep and passionate commitment to prioritising what they see as a universal need for relationship with God above all other concerns,” the report says.
