About Dream City Church

Dream City Church is an Assemblies of God megachurch in Phoenix, Arizona, with a century of history. It was founded in 1923 as Phoenix First Assembly. Tommy Barnett took the pulpit in 1979 and built it into one of the most influential Pentecostal churches in America, known for elaborate illustrated sermons and for co-founding the Los Angeles Dream Center in 1994. His son Luke Barnett became senior pastor in 2011, and weekly attendance jumped from 10,000 to 22,500 within two years. The church took the Dream City name in 2015 as it went multi-site.

Dream City is active on all four major platforms, good for a perfect 100 breadth score, with 81,547 combined followers. Instagram leads at 35,600 followers split across two brand-family accounts: dreamcitychurch at 30,487 and dreamcityphoenix at 5,113. Facebook adds 26,722 followers and TikTok another 4,025. The YouTube channel, @DreamCity-Church, counts 15,200 subscribers and published as recently as June 10. The headline number is its growth: up 60.17 percent over the past year.

That 60 percent YouTube growth is the fastest in this stretch of the index, and it drives a 55.1 velocity score. Dream City's raw reach score of 25.2 is the smallest of its pillar scores, which means the audience is small but accelerating across every front at once. Four active platforms, two Instagram accounts, a live TikTok, and a YouTube channel growing 60 percent a year is the profile of a church that decided to take digital seriously and is early in the payoff. A 22,000-person church with an 81,000-follower audience has plenty of headroom. At current rates it will not stay at number 67 long.
