    VIBRANT WORSHIP

    Each Sunday, we worship together at 8:30 and 11 am, in person and online. All worship services are in a traditional worship style with a sermon based on our scripture readings, congregational hymns, music sung by our choirs, and music played by our organists before and after. We follow the liturgical calendar of the church year with seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost, and celebrate Holy Communion during our services on the first Sunday of every month.

    Usually once a month, on Sunday afternoons or evenings, we gather for services of Evensong that feature music sung by our choirs. Whether online or in person, we will always be happy for you to join us.

    Joel Osteen

    Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.

    “There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.”

    – JOEL OSTEEN

    His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
