Tony Steward recently posted a presentation of LifeChurch‘s findings this year in terms of a few of the metrics that they track, including attendance, traffic, salvations, and more.
A few things of note:
- Visits means unique visitors to http://live.lifechurch.tv (It is not pageviews) Current means May 2009.
- Attendance means the combination of the totals from each of our experiences on the maximum simultaneous viewers. So, there maybe be 1,000 connections made, but at one point there are 300 connected at the very same time, we would count the 300 as attendance.
- For Visitors and Attendance these are just computer connections, not “people.” In general we have come to find that 1=1.5 people in regards to the these statistics.
- There are only 198 recognized countries/governments/principalities in the world.
Take a good look at their 12-slide presentation and thank God for the blessings that the Lord has given them! There’s even more to come. What an exciting time to be serving our Lord online!

I just posted this comment on their blog but I'll post it here too. I'm wondering, once somebody accepts Christ online, how do you then help them with their journey in walking with the Lord? In a physical environment, there are ministries and groups that are designed to help. But in a virtual environment, it's tough. I'm all for using the online channel as a means to spread the Gospel. Just wondering how you've seen either Lifechurch.tv or other ministries tackle this. How are you planning on tackling this with North Point Online?

Reggie,
We'll probably be taking a bit of a different approach with North Point Online… we'll spend more time sharing this on the new blog coming out… stay tuned!

Those numbers are incredible! I'm glad they're rocking it, and I can't wait to see what NP does.
The Salvations thing is tough, but I've seen people fall through the cracks in a physical space a lot too…everyone has the problem.
