The Pentecostals
Mark Hattabaugh - Cooper City, FL
Attendance 2000
I believe these numbers are from 2007. Can anyone verify the accuracy of these attendance numbers? I am somewhat familiar with the churches in California and the numbers seem to be very inflated.
The Pentecostals of Cooper City has never had 2000 saints attending.
I believe the number is around 400 on a Sunday.

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
So is Larsons. It is a joke among some UPC churches in San Diego that when they sold their building and renamed it the Anchor attendance sunk just like one, they shed alot of folks and momentum. If they break 700 i'd be shocked based on the fact i was there a year ago during a normal Sunday.
Calvary is way off too.. if you look at summer attendance when IBC isnt in session you will be super luckly to break 900 including all the kids in Sunday school on a Sunday morning.
Life Tab in Houston just shed alot of members, but they have also gained some too with their refocusing. That one would be hard to call.
Pity other major indepenent apostolic megaworks like Pentecostal Tabernacle of North Miami (easily over 1500), North Park in San Diego (1100ish), Grace Apostolic in Indianapolis (PAW about 900ish), Promiseland and its daughter church and many others werent mentioned.
Does anyone know what caused the attendence to decline?

First of all, no one from our church has "lied" to these people about our numbers. Actually, no one from Harvard has ever been to our church, investigated or ever contacted any of us regarding this or asked us about our membership.
Be careful at jumping so quick to judge. As Jesus asked us to.
Instead of believing everything you read as "Doctrine," please consider the source, and don't assume people are trying to "evangelistically" increase their numbers for some kind of personal aggrandizement. I realize, there are some who do, but, you don't believe everything until you check out a matter.
Remember what God hates:
"Hands that shed innocent blood?"
"Those that sow discord among the brethren"
I humbly ask you to forgive all these churches if you feel they have "lied" but I also ask that you consider that they probably (as we) did not have anything to do with this report.
