Megachurches are booming and it’s no wonder. These churches of 2,000 people or more offer many things Christian consumers want, like compelling worship, inspirational sermons, and kids programs.
But they also come with trade-offs.
You likely won’t know your pastor. You have almost no power to shape how the church governs or the pastor behaves. And if you’re hurt in some way — abused, lied to, or trampled over — you’ll likely have no recourse but to leave and try to find healing for what are often profoundly deep wounds.
