A '''megachurch''' is a large church characterized by weekly attendance of 2000 [[people]] or more, an active [[congregation]]al community, a large number of outreach and [[social]] [[ministries]], and several other [[criteria]]. While some [[Catholic]] churches may fulfill most of the criteria for a megachurch, the term is usually only applied to [[Protestant]] churches. <ref>http://hirr.hartsem.edu/megachurch/megachurches.html</ref>
