<br/><br/> "Southland Christian Church is a megachurch with a megabudget ($9.2 million), megabuildings (270,000 square feet) and mega-attendance (8,000 on an average weekend). It's among the 50 largest churches in the nation. But Southland isn't just a place for singing and preaching on Sunday mornings. It's a teeming, non-stop center of community life in suburban Lexington (Kentucky), an enormous business enterprise, an engine for volunteerism, and a potent social and spiritual force with a multimedia message." (LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER) This article profiles a megachurch in Kentucky and illustrates how megachurches, "which have become increasingly popular places for American Christians to worship," attempt to create a community for members.
