Eighteen Southern Baptist churches are listed among the Outreach 100 Fastest-Growing and Largest Churches in America for 2023 released jointly by Outreach magazine, Lifeway Research, and Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
Typo: Prestonwood is located in Plano Texas. Texas, unlike Missouri, does not have a town named Plato that I am aware of 😀
I'm always curious about what the fastest growing ones mean. Percentage of growth would seem to make sense... But the bigger the church the harder it becomes to grow at 15%. A lot of small churches can easily grow at 15% or more. That's why I don't put a lot of stock into the fastest growing metric.

Thanks, Austin! You are the first to point out the typo. It has been corrrected.
