BOLIVAR – Through Church Growth Today (churchgrowthtoday.org) in Bolivar, John Vaughan specializes in consulting with rapidly growing churches in more than 30 denominations. Some of his clients include Rick Warren’s Saddleback Valley Community Church in California; Cincinnati Vineyard; Calvary Church of Charlotte, N.C.; and First Church of the Nazarene, Wichita, Kan.

The Center for the Study of Growing Churches is for growing evangelical churches of all sizes. Annual net gains of 100 or more people in churches are prioritized for attention.

The Megachurch Research Center is the study of U.S. and global churches with an average attendance of 2,000 people or more.
