How many people go to the church Jimmy Swaggart pastors now?

Answer 1

Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, LA is the church pastored and founded by Jimmy Swaggart in the 1970s.

The main worship center has seating for 7,000 people between two levels.

In the 1980s the entire room was packed with devout worshipers. After the 'moral fall' of 1988, attendance went down by about 1 500 people.

When Jimmy Swaggart repeated a moral fall in 1991, the congregation became very small. There were several years where the 7 000 seat worship center only had about 500 people on a Sunday morning.

Over the last 10 years, Jimmy has received major ministry and healing. He has been regaining the ground he lost in 1991. The weekly telecast is on air all over the globe and he now owns a national Christian Radio Network called 'Sonlife Radio'. In 2009, Jimmy Swaggart announced that he would also be starting a television network to be as big as TBN.

Family Worship Center now has a Sunday morning crowd of 3 000 people. Over Thanksgiving weekend, they have about 5 000 people in the worship center.
