It should come as no surprise that Texans are a devout group of church-going people. The Lone Star State sits at the Western edge of the Bible Belt, and you can’t drive through the small towns without passing a few churches. If you’re looking for a really big, megachurch, though, go to the big cities. A megachurch is defined as a church with over 2,000 members, and according to the Hartford Institute for Religious Research, there are over 200 such congregations in Texas.
