Lakewood Church - one of the largest megachurches in the U.S.

Lakewood Church in Houston is one of the largest megachurches in the United States by weekly attendance. It meets in the former Compaq Center (a converted arena) and has reported weekly attendance figures in the tens of thousands in pre-pandemic years. The congregation and pastor Joel Osteen are widely known nationally; the claim of being the single largest congregation in the U.S. can vary by measurement and is sometimes debated.
