Top Two Multiplying Churches in US are Reformed
Redeemer Presbyterian Church (PCA) in New York was ranked the number one multiplying church in America.
Based on a survey sponsored by Leadership Network, Outreach Magazine's 2007 list of the top 25 multiplying churches placed Redeemer on top, Mars Hill Church in Seattle second and NorthWood Church in Keller, Texas, third. All three churches have planted a total of 100 churches since their founding.

Mark Driscoll was on White Horse Inn maybe 5 months ago and it was very refreshing to hear a "big box" pastor speak the way Mark spoke. I have told friends that have moved to Seattle to check out Mars Hill. Glad to hear things are so well in the most unchurched city in America.

Correction...TOP THREE. We, NorthWood, have strong reformed leanings and though that is not out on our front billboard you hear it come through in our teaching. Actually I call myself a Pauline Doctrine of Electionist since Calvin wasn't its originater...ha!
from our doctrine statement:As a result of Adam's sin, humans inherit a nature that is (1) guilty of Adam’s original sin (2) unable and unwilling to come to God, and (3) guilty of personal sins, which are the fruit of this depraved nature. (notice unable and unwilling)

Your readers may be interested by the remarks offered by Dr. Keller at the fifth anniversary interfaith observance of the 9-11 attacks, attended by President and Mrs. Bush. I would be happy to post them here, or to have anyone interested to email me.
