For sure. 40,000 people don't attend every week. I think it's somewhere around 17-18,000? Willow Creek is at about 18,000 weekly (although they've farmed out thousands to the Chicago area to other churches they've started) and their membership is around 30,000 or so...actually a pretty good percentage.
