Megachurch Accountability in Missions
Critical Assessment through Global Case Studies
by: Dwight Baker (Author), Steve Sang-Cheol Moon (Author), Jae Hoon Lee (Author), J. Nelson Jennings (Author), Jinbong Kim (Author)
Megachurches are of relatively recent vintage. Their numerical strength invests them with social and financial power. To whom, if anyone, however, are megachurches accountable? What role do they play as innovators in missions? How have their enormous influence and financial strength been harnessed? What lessons can be learned? What course corrections ought to be made?

Over the course of a week, the third meeting of the Korean Global Mission Leadership Forum (KGMLF), held in Korea in 2015, addressed these and related questions. Combining the insights of a rich mix of Korean and international megachurch leaders and scholars, Megachurch Accountability in Missions offers analysis, critique, and positive recommendations for future megachurch engagement in mission.

This book is the third volume in KGMLF’s Accountability in Missions series.

Endorsements

  • This book is far more significant than its title may suggest. It is a missiological mine, from which readers may bring up valuable material, not only about megachurches, but also on migration and diaspora, multiple patterns of church and ministry, intercultural relations in mission, the place of Korea in World Christianity, South-South dynamics in mission, and many other topics. It deserves a wide circulation.

    Andrew F. WallsUniversity of Edinburgh, Liverpool Hope University, and Akrofi-Christaller Institute, Ghana

  • In an age of shifting demographics and evolving mission structures, Megachurch Accountability is a timely and important book. Around the world, megachurches are shaping missional conversations and providing vast resources for missions and outreach. The authors reflect on this growing phenomenon from historical, missiological, biblical, and practical perspectives. I highly recommend this book as a substantial contribution to an urgent conversation about contemporary mission practices.

    Dana L. RobertTruman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission Boston University School of Theology

  • Megachurch Accountability in Missions exposes a tendency present globally, but particularly in Korean and Korean American churches, for megachurches to become unilateral sending agencies. Too often the result ignores the value of partnerships with experienced mission agencies and is insensitive to local contexts. The multicultural presentations and responses in this book provide valuable insights and practical guidance for greater missional effectiveness of churches large and small.

    Jerry RankinPresident Emeritus International Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention

  • Megachurches should take on missional responsibilities worthy of their size and capability. Based on the Bible’s teaching regarding the church’s divine purpose and with many examples from around the world, this book will serve as a guideline for examining where megachurches now stand and the direction in which they are headed.
