    Might be a regional thing, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new church built in my lifetime. The only churches I see closing down are the ones in small towns that don’t have the population to maintain it anymore.

    I’m curious, do you see a trend in the denomination of these pop-up churches?

      I imagine it’s “regional” by the meaning that entire countries have them behaving in a similar way, but it’s different from one country to another.

      Anyway, I live in a 60 years-old city, so there are no centenary churches here :) yet they are still mostly older than the average for my country. There are entirely pop-up denominations that appear, annoy the hell out of friends and relatives that I have in other cities, then close down and disappear so that nobody remember their names anymore.
