List of the largest evangelical church auditoriums

This is a list of the largest evangelical church auditoriums. The list is based on the human seating capacity of the evangelical church auditoriums.

Characteristics The building of an Evangelical Christian megachurch has a main auditorium for worship services, as well as additional rooms for children and teenagers, small groups and sometimes a cafeteria or a gym.Anne C. Loveland, Otis B. Wheeler, From Meetinghouse to Megachurch: A Material and Cultural History, University of Missouri Press, USA, 2003, p. 66-70George Thomas Kurian, Mark A. Lamport, Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States, Volume 5, Rowman & Littlefield, USA, 2016, p. 1477

Criteria for inclusion Only church auditoriums are included in this list. Church tents, canopies and overflows are included in the list. For example, the Redeemed Christian Church of God 12million-capacity church campground meets this criterion as it is a completely enclosed building. The figures are based on seating capacity of the auditorium from weekly services. The estimates are based on human seating capacity in a single service. Churches with multiple consecutive services will be for only one service. For example, Faith Tabernacle, which holds four services every Sunday in its 50,000 capacity auditorium will be included as having 50,000 and not 200,000 in the list. Only auditoriums with a capacity of 10,000 and above are to be included.
