My parish - a CATHOLIC parish - qualifes as a "megachurch." We have well in excess of 10,000 members and I read scripture to about 2800 people while serving as a lector during the 11:00 mass this past Sunday. Our theology is sound and we do have a honest priest who delivers Christ's message (we actually have two of them as well as two deacons).

It probably also has a certain timeless quality about it that the showplace megachurches don't. My parish also qualifies as a megachurch, even though the parish is over 100 years old. The church itself is beautiful and feels timeless. It's awe-inspiring - what a church should be. True crystal cathedral type mega churches are far more ephemeral.

It's modern, but tasteful. Here are some images:

And, finally, the floorplan:

And if you're talking about Mega-churchs, you gotta see Westminster Cathedral in London -- close to Westminster Abbey and hte houses of Parliament. I try to go there every 3rd Sunday
