The first meeting of Lakewood Church was held in a converted feed store on the outskirts of Houston on Mother's Day, 1959. Known throughout the world as a model for racial harmony and diversity, Lakewood Church has become a congregation of nearly equal numbers of Caucasian, Hispanic and African-American members. Every month, Lakewood reaches out to thousands of people through worship services, children's and student's classes, and educational and community outreaches. Lakewood's hand of ministry reaches out through special outreach programs for the hearing-impaired, foreign visitors, homeless, unwed mothers, hospitals, prisons and gangs.

I call the Church to talk with the administrator to make a comment and the receptionist cut me off and said no cussing and hung up on me. I had not said one cuss word check your recorded calls that you received on 09/9/2021 between 2:05 2:20 pm. How rude!

Great messages but beware

Many of us could benefit from the positive and uplifting messages of this church. But there are a couple of downsides I can't help but point out. A heavy amount of importance is placed on giving a tithe. They even believe God can't bless you if you don't tithe. Also, if you have an illness and are not miraculously healed, they look down on you like you are doing something wrong.

Sometimes we think the volunteers are very rude just because they have to help prepare everything at the church runs smoothly. I used to think that way too. I had a visitor who came to visit from Indonesia and wanted to attend Lakewood by the time he was queuing to have Joel Books autographed, a volunteer said no more because it was too long already, please come again next week. he was going back to Indonesia the next day. At another time I reserved the seat for a friend who was coming it was already 15 minutes past the normal service time, a volunteer came and asked me to release the seat to another guest. This is just the job of the volunteer to make everything runs in order for the service. I think we have to put our selves in the volunteers' shoes before we judge them they are rude. Hope everybody will enjoy the Lakewood services like we do.

This Is God's Church

To those folks who had a bad experience at Lakewood, I'm truly sorry. Hopefully you will stop and realize that Satan and his minions are especially busy in God-centered places like Lakewood. Give it another try--with an open heart. I'm an old woman and I've observed that churches don't grow and prosper like Lakewood if they are not on the right track--moving within God's will and purpose. We are all at different places and Lakewood obviously is meeting lots of us where we are.
