Kent Shaffer writes: Since 2004, there have been 22 lists highlighting which U.S. churches are the largest, fastest-growing, and best known for influence, innovation, or church planting. In total 493 churches have been featured on the lists, and we’ve created a master list of them below for your convenience.
While there are many churches worth watching not included, the below list of 493 churches is a great place to start for ideas, inspiration, and studying ministry techniques.
Here is what Kent based the list on:

Hard to watch any church on that list… for it likely would create angst in the way that I watch the church right in front of me. #confession
Only two churches score points in all five areas, one is Driscoll’s, the other — Community Christian in Illinois — I am not familiar with.
For me, the column to watch is innovation; and only 33 of the 493 are thus noted.
