Houston / Texas / United States
The first meeting of Lakewood Church was held in a converted feed store on the outskirts of Houston on Mothers 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, childrens and students classes, and educational and community outreaches. Lakewoods hand of ministry reaches out through special outreach programs for the hearing-impaired, foreign visitors, homeless, unwed mothers, hospitals, prisons and gangs.
