Pretty much all over the country, overall Christianity is holding steady. But as megachurches grow, smaller churches shrink.
Some church planting is going on, but it seems the real growth from these planted churches is to "satelite" churches of the megachurches.
Now where I think REAL growth is happening, but is undocumented, and more just my opinion, but is in home churches. I know some people are really getting tired of the megachurch scene, and want family like fellowship. Families, similar to the Duggars, that home school and want to control the environment that their family is raised in, are growing.

I appreciate the observation. My eyes and ears are telling me most churches are social clubs. Wife and I decided to stop going to the club for awhile and get back to basics on our own.
