megachurch pastor

Stadium congregation leader

A megachurch pastor leads a Protestant Christian congregation with thousands of members, typically in a large modern facility with concert-style worship services.

These pastors often become celebrity figures with national reach through television, books, and social media: The megachurch pastor's sermon was broadcast to satellite campuses across the state.

The term sometimes carries connotations of prosperity gospel theology or corporate-style religious leadership.
