Large Churches and Mission Centers | Nazarene Presence in the Texas Triangle Megaregion (1905-2017)

I decided to tie these two infographs together since there is not much difference between the two slides. 

Key information from each of them:

There is only one church over 1,000 in attendance in the entire megaregion (Bethany OK First).

There three churches over 600 in attendance. For every 100 people in a Nazarene church on a Sunday morning in the Texas Triangle megaregion, thirteen of them are in these four churches. Two of them are in Oklahoma City and one is in Houston. The two in Oklahoma City are over 100 years old. 
​

Let's look at the an expanded view of sizeable congregations. I usually look at churches over 600 but since there are only four that fit this criterion, and I already looked at them in the previous infograph, I opened up the criteria to include the 16 total churches with more than 250 in attendance.  That's right, sixteen churches have over 250 on Sunday in the Texas Triangle megaregion. 

For every 100 Nazarene attenders in church on Sunday morning in the Texas Triangle, 28 of them are in one of these sixteen congregations. Nine of these churches are in Oklahoma; seven are in Texas. 

Of the 331 churches reporting attendance, four out of 10 have less than 45 in attendance on a Sunday morning.

Average attendance is around 80; median attendance is 49 among all churches reporting attendance. 

Dallas, Texas is the geographic crossroads of the Texas Triangle megaregion.
