[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Name the church(es) and the city. Your generic description isn’t much help.[/quote]

NP, but one I can think of off hand that’s a few years old but a good example is Passion City which meets in the Lincoln Theater. https://passioncitychurchdc.com/

They are usually like daughter churches of large mega churches in the south. They send a lead pastor who assembles a team that often moves to the new city and they launch a church. In this case there’s a big name pastor who comes up like twice a year for a sermon and I think they have a well know band that produces worship music, so “Passion City” is a brand like a big box store. Hillsong would be another band+celebrity pastor big box church.

There are lots of “church planting” organizations—ARC, Send, Acts 29 are some big ones—and they usually say non-denominational but that’s only because they aren’t Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist which are formal denominations. You would likely consider “southern Baptist” (McLean Bible) to be a denomination but the churches are operating independent from them (sans funding) so those churches all claim to be non-denominational. Most church plants have a board of directors of sorts managing the church until it’s self sustaining. They are usually the funders who want to know where their money is going.
