Easiest Method is

var arr = "'Average Sized'-'Mega Church!'".replace(/'/ig,"").split("-")

try this:

"Average Sized - Mega Church!".split(/\s*\-\s*/g)

edit:

if you mean the original string INCLUDES the single quotes, this should work:

"'Average Sized - Mega Church!'".replace(/^'|'$/g, "").split(/\s*\-\s*/g)

if you just meant that the string is defined with single quotes, the original will work.
