The Economic Outlook of Larger Churches: An Interview with Warren Bird

(My apologies to you and Warren. The audio balance is poor. It’s worth listening, though, because the content Warren offers is very helpful.)

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

• “There are only about 1,600 mega churches (over 2,000 people) in the United States.”
• “Everybody was affected by the recession but as a whole, large churches reduced expenses and did well.”
• “During the recession, some churches waited too long to react, they failed to help people with their individual finances.”
• “From 2010 to 2012 senior level salaries in large churches increased.”
