Elevation Church made a $100 million dollar milestone in 2023.
In their 2023 annual report, the megachurch shared how they received over $97 million dollars in tithes and offerings and more than $11 million for year-end giving. This $108 million dollar figure comes as the church continues to see rapid growth.
In the annual report, Elevation states that they are seeing 17,061 people attend weekly, a 21% increase from 2022. In 2023, the multi-site North Carolina-based megachurch added locations in Belmont, North Carolina, Orlando, Florida and Toronto, Canada.

The sermon reach had it’s own impressive mark with over 93.2 million views. Pastor Steven Furtick’s “The Blessing of Letting Go” was the top heard sermon with over 1.5 million views. Elevation Worship’s wildly popular music also accumulated 2.14 billion streams in total.
This growth comes after Elevation made the decision last year to pull out of the Southern Baptist Convention less than a month from the SBC’s decision to permanently remove Saddleback Church from the denomination.
Earlier this year, Elevation defended their decision to make seeker-friendly Easter invites that would not include phrases like “Calvary,” “resurrection” or “the blood of Jesus.”
The copy-and-paste invite was simple and read: “I’m heading to Easter at Elevation. Would you like to join me? The music and the message are always incredible. It’s honestly one of my favorite ways to celebrate the holiday. I’d love to have you as my guest this year!”
The Good Friday service, however, was promoted with language about Jesus’ death and resurrection.
