Life.Church

Life.Church is based in Edmond, Oklahoma, and affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church. Craig Groeschel founded it in January 1996 as Life Covenant Church, with about 40 people meeting in a two-car garage. It has since grown into one of the largest churches in America, with weekly attendance around 85,000 across 46 physical locations. The church also built YouVersion, the Bible App that passed one billion downloads in 2025, which says everything about how this congregation thinks about technology.

Life.Church reaches 4.12 million followers across all four platforms. YouTube accounts for 1.63 million subscribers across three channels: the main channel at 1.1 million, Life.Church Worship at 281,000, and Switch, the youth ministry, at 249,000. The standout number is TikTok, where the church holds 973,400 followers, one of the strongest short-form showings of any church in the index. Instagram adds 708,801 followers across three accounts, and Facebook contributes 807,591. YouTube subscribers grew 13.05 percent over the past year.

Life.Church earned a perfect 100 on breadth and a velocity score of 66, and the distribution is what makes the profile unusual. Most top-ten churches lean on one dominant platform, usually a worship catalog on YouTube. Life.Church is balanced across all four, with no single account carrying the brand. Pair its near-million TikTok audience with thirteen percent YouTube growth and you get a church still gaining ground on younger platforms while most of its peers defend older ones. The church that pioneered multisite video teaching is now quietly running the best multi-platform playbook in the index.
