Throughout the United States megachurches, often non-denominational, have sprung up. These churches, catering to thousands of worshippers, not only provide a spiritual home but also pragmatic counseling, often offering workshops dealing with life issues such as financial management and family/marriage counseling. They use modern audiovisual techniques to present their message to worshippers. This is one such church, Willowcreek, in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
