Abstract
This chapter investigates the nature of education as provided by megachurches as institutions. It proceeds by sketching out the characteristics of congregational education in general terms before considering megachurch provision more specifically. In particular, the chapter explores the impact of Sunday worship and how beliefs and values are socialised through music, ritual and preaching, as well as the videos and branded material. It also considers the role that small groups play in very large churches and in especially different kinds of discipleship courses. The study also illustrates the ways in which megachurches demonstrate links to more formal educational practices.
