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 tried to give it a chance. I guess I've been in church too long to know better. I walked out. I don't think anyone noticed. Nice people granted but not sure how long most people stay in...
