Two Cities Church

Two Cities Church is a Southern Baptist congregation in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, led by founding pastor Kyle Mercer. Mercer planted the church in 2016 out of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, starting with a launch team of about 30 people. Eight years later the church runs around 3,500, and Outreach Magazine has named it one of the fastest growing churches in America. The name reflects its home region and a focus that is local first: in Winston, for the world.

Two Cities counts 36,828 combined followers across three platforms. Instagram leads at 20,238 followers on @twocitieschurchws, more than half the church's total digital audience. YouTube holds 8,690 subscribers and grew 39.49 percent over the past year, with a video published June 9, 2026. Facebook contributes 7,900 followers. TikTok is not in the mix.

Two Cities pairs a velocity score of 61.9 with a breadth score of 82.5, the profile of a church still in its growth phase online. Nearly 40 percent annual YouTube growth on an active channel is the strongest signal in the data. The reach score of 15.1 shows the audience is still mid-sized, but the platform mix is balanced and every channel is moving. This is what steady, compounding digital growth looks like for a church under ten years old.
