6. Lakewood Church, Houston
If you haven’t heard of the Lakewood church, then you must have probably heard of the popular televangelist Joel Osteen. At this point, we aren’t even sure who is more popular. It is without a doubt though that the Lakewood church is one of the largest churches in America. The church has over 50000 people attending services every week and at the same time boasts of millions of viewers and subscribers online. The church was founded in 1959 by John and Dodie Osteen, parents of Joel Osteen. Joel Osteen assumed the role of senior pastor after his father’s passing. He now pastors the Lakewood church in partnership with his lovely wife Victoria Osteen.
