megachurch movement
The megachurch movement refers to the rise of very large Christian congregations, typically defined as having weekly attendance of over 2,000 people. These churches often offer a wide range of services and programs, including contemporary worship music, engaging sermons, community activities, and social outreach efforts. They utilize modern technology, such as live streaming and social media, to reach broader audiences. Megachurches emphasize a welcoming atmosphere, personal connections, and often adopt a business-like approach to church management. They have become influential in shaping contemporary Christianity and often attract diverse congregations seeking spiritual and community support.
