This list of the largest Protestant churches in the USA is a non-exhaustive list of Protestant churches that have more than 2,000 members in the United States. Most of these churches are megachurches while some fall outside this definition.[1] The Hartford Institute's database lists more than 1,300 such Protestant churches in the United States. According to that data, approximately 50 churches on the list have attendance ranging from 10,000 to 47,000.[2]
Catholic Churches are not measured similarly as they don't meet the characteristics of a mega-church.[1] About 3,000 Catholic Churches have 2,000+ attending each week,[1] which is more than the 2,000 members for listing here. St Ann's in Coppell, Texas would be near the top with almost 30,000 registered parishioners.[3]
Membership numbers give only a very rough indication of size. They vary from year to year. Also, some churches report typical Sunday attendance while others report the number who are listed in church records or make financial contributions, which may be higher.
Some of the larger churches are multi-site churches. Many churches deliver their message through television or other media, sometimes reaching much higher numbers than those who physically attend the church.
In the table below, the "City" column indicates where each listed church has its main location.

Notes
- ^ Although Southeast Christian has a Louisville mailing address, its main worship complex is within the city limits of Middletown. The governments of Louisville and surrounding Jefferson County merged in 2003, but Middletown and the 82 other cities (apart from Louisville) in Jefferson County retained separate city limits and some governmental powers.
- ^ Although Southland Christian is historically associated with Lexington, it moved to an unincorporated area of Jessamine County, about a half-mile (800 m) from the Lexington boundary, in 1981. The church long maintained a Lexington mailing address, but now has a Nicholasville mailing address. Southland opened a new satellite campus in Lexington in 2013.
