FIRST THURSDAY WEBINARS
September webinar:
The Megachurch Resurgence
With Warren Bird, Ph.D.
September 3, 2026
12:00 pm EST
What can the largest churches in America teach us about where ministry leadership is headed next? Join us on September 3 at 12:00 PM Eastern for a conversation with Dr. Warren Bird as he shares fresh findings from a national survey of churches and explores The Megachurch Resurgence. We’ll look at what’s trending, what isn’t, and what the latest data reveals about leadership development in churches today. Whether you lead a megachurch or a much smaller congregation, this conversation will help you identify the shifts worth paying attention to—and what they could mean for the leaders you’re developing next.
Some of the previous guests of First Thursday: Dr. Tim Elmore, Dan Rockwell, Brittany Crimmel, Rich Birch, Holly Tate, Warren Bird, Stefanie Rowe, Dr. David Fletcher, Mandi Smith, Brandon Cormier, Lisa Birle, Dillon Smith, Tiffany Henning, Andy Brightbill, Gabrielle Christie, Austin Rockwell, Matt McKay, Kristin Miller, and others… We are thankful for all who give of their time and story to influence young leaders and those leaders that lead them.
This webinar is brought to you by our good friends at Norton Creative.
