329 Words2 Pages

The 15,000-strong Harvest Christian Fellowship is set to merge with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) as an extension of the ongoing partnership between the two bodies, the church’s pastor and founder Rev.

Amid fears that the Riverside-based church could be overshadowed by the Baptists, Laurie assured that the major step toward mainstream evangelism is merely an extension of their fellowship with other evangelical congregations, The Press Enterprise relays. “This decision does not change our theology, philosophy of ministry or our history,” Rev. Laurie said in his statement

This event marked the implementation of the missionary society into the mainstream Texas congregations at the time. A handful of faithful gospel preachers firmly resisted this innovation, but they were outnumbered and defeated by the progressive element in the Texas congregations (Ibid. 67-70).

    To begin, Osteen’s career is founded on the social mobility that televangelism offered his father, John, who began his ministerial career preaching in a feed store converted into Lakewood church, and ended his career as the beloved minister of upwards of fifteen-thousand congregants.5 After his John passed away in 1999, Joel was able to build off of the momentum that his father’s success laid out for him to create one of the largest megachurches in America, boasting an average of thirty-thousand attendees each week, not including the millions of televisual attendees who watch or listen from home. The congregation’s growth, generated by Joel’s succession of his father’s role as head pastor, made Osteen a household name and launched him to stardom. This made his business as a minister and author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, incredibly lucrative, allowing him to surpass the success and wealth of his father, tying televangelist and America ideals together by embodying the American ideal of social
