Muslims Adopt Megachurch Multi-Site Model for Mosques
Mosques are multiplying across the country and their inspiration may come as a bit of a surprise – Christian megachurches.
Similar to many megachurches, new mosques are popping up as extension campuses to a main mosque with the stated goal of making it more convenient for Muslims in an area to worship. These extended mosque sites are sometimes referred to as “mosque chains” and tend to be adopted by more progressive Muslim congregations.
