The epitome of megachurch-multimedia evangelism, there are 13 campuses spread across the country, with video content feeds and supplementary materials to “thousands” of start-up churches. The church has a virtual campus with an “online pastor” for services held at
lifechurch.tv; some 3,000 people from 140 countries tune in throughout the week. Groeschel, a father of six, started the church in 1996.
