Reader Comments on Megachurches in New England from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:54:20 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-01/features/religion-churches-evangelical You may have overlooked a wonderful church in Vermont, the Essex Alliance Church, which is the church my daughter's family attends and loves - very family nurturing w/ programs for folks of all ages. I believe they have a membership of 1500 plus. Their "Christmas Spectacular" music program is filmed so far-flung family members who are unable to attend can enjoy it also. As I understand it, this church began as a small store-front gathering and has grown as mentioned above. Worth a look?

I'm one of the original members of the Faith Church which started as a small Bible study in the back of a doctor's office. Having gone from an atheist cop to a police chaplain has surely changed my life. I have seen countless lives changed from people who really wanted to know the truth about God and I'm one of them. Our church is not the only one that is growing in this area. People are coming out of mainline denominations because these don't see change in their lives and realize that religion is not the answer to life's problems. It's a relationship with God who created them!

Interestingly, according to a recent article in "The Christian Century," the migration can sometimes be from a megachurch to a more traditional one as well. A megachurch draws them in, and when they feel a craving for a more intimate worship experience, they find another church that provides it. This is particularly true for those who appreciate liturgy and classical music. Whichever way, it's all good IMHO.

I attend a small church Open Bible We have a great pastor, people come and go ,some people can't stand to hear the truth. I believe when you accept Jesus Christ, you are a new person andhave a hunger for his word,which speaks to youand gives you a joy you never knew.

It may be a megachurch, but with a small town feeling to it. The church has programs for everybody, from the nursery to the seniors. All the kids know each other, so the parents know each other, if only to smile and say hi to. What a great church.

I had the opportunity to visit this church once with my wife before we were married many years ago when it was called New Covenant Church. They have over 5000 people that attend their services weekly. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Mon, 05 Apr 2010 01:20:41 +0100
