Well I do not like big churches for that very reason. In personal, people who go to these mega churches can get lost and be unaccountable for their sins. I like small church 100 or less because you know everyone and if you mess up they will let you know and hopefully help you. If they just let you know at least you and God can take care of it. In a mega church you can go on in you sin becuase you are just a number. Although some have small groups. If you are missing a few weeks no one is going to notice.
