I attend The Rock Church in San Diego, which is a large church consisting of small groups and what I call "spiritual refugees" from other churches, people from other churches, usually in ministry who are spiritually starving at their own churches (think about it, who ministers to the pastor?)
Despite what some people say about the capitalism of megachurches, Christianity was founded on the same ideas that run megachurches. When Paul wrote a letter to a "church" he sent it to the church of the city itself. The "church" was made up of small groups that would meet in homes and come together occasionally (read Acts if you don't believe me) for mass instruction. These are the same ideas behind most megachurches. I love my church and Pastor Miles is an amazing visionary and incredible missionary to kids, teens, and Southern California in general. I am happy to follow his lead.

Megachurches are the Walmarts of religion: oversized constructions intended to maximize profits and minimize costs while selling crappy product to dupes who believe they're getting a bargain while they're being fleeced and lied to.

I attend a church called 'Fellowship Church' in Texas. I don't go regularly, but I do go to a church, I go there because it doesn't have a boring sermon and quite stupid hymns.
It's loud, upbeat, and has a lot of people.
And it doesn't put me to sleep. (Unless, of course, the sermon, which is usually only 30 minutes or so, is on a stupid topic that I'm bored anyway.)

Harvest Riverside. Because this is where God has given me rest for 4 years. He's about to send me out again.
