I do believe even the early Church of the NT was a Mega Church in the form of a Meta Church that was broken into many groups and had discipleship, outreach, and evangelism integrated into all. The Church grew daily in number and focused more on winning people for the gospel and making disciples with a purpose and a cause. It was more than what we see now and by default fall into prey to the organization rather than an organism. I would put it in the way of saying, there would be no megachurch without a Meta Church. The Meta Church is the Roots of a tree and the Mega Church is the manifestation of fruits the Meta Church

A Mega Church is a large church of a few thousands that attend the services that make millions of dollars. They are usually money-making machines that appear to promote Christianity. A Meta church is a smaller size church

A Megachurch is a church, by standard definition, of a church with Sunday attendance of 2000 or more. What’s implied is that while people may attend, they may not be connected and may not be getting personal and transformational ministry. A Meta-church stresses the importance of small groups, discipleship training, and heavy emphasis on sharing. A Meta-church may be large but it keeps the church “small enough” for transformational ministry.

a. The first way is a political assembly of free citizens as in Acts 19.
b. The second use is the Jewish Assembly. In Acts 7, Stephen referred to the gathering of Israelites in the desert with Moises the ekklesia.
c. The last way is what most of us understand as the local or universal church.

The church is to have fellowship. Ephesians 3:18 states, “Together with all the Lord’s holy people” as the way to understand the love of Christ. We are not to isolate ourselves from others, or the church from the world it seeks to save with the Gospel.
