Megachurch - Demographics
Megachurches appeal to baby boomers and others who enjoy the polished showmanship of the worship services, and who find the size of the organisation and the upbeat style of these churches appealing. Some worshippers like the size because it allows them to retain more anonymity if they choose, than would be possible in a smaller church. The large numbers of worshippers is not for these believers a problem of scale; it is a demonstration of the dynamism of the institution. Also some worshipers feel that in a bigger church the Holy Spirit is felt more and is manifested better.
However, other Christians find the polish of the services and the impersonal nature of worship in these megachurches disconcerting, even among those churches using the Cell System of small groups.
As stated earlier, they are typically exurban in the Sun Belt in the southern United States.
