Lakewood Church Reviews

Friendliest church. Will make you feel welcomed! They have great child care, wonderful groups and classes and opportunities to get to know your church.

I love and enjoyed every single second !!!!

I felt the Magic when we were there! Meet and greet with Mr. Joel Osteen!

It's a place of joy, where u were taught to put God 1st in all u plan to do & it will come to fruition. They teach u hw to love one another, forgive one another, be tolerant, hold ur peace, be patient, be hopeful, be happy & above all, love God & forgive yourself, bcos God has washed away our sins.

Come to the biggest worldwide cesspool and be fooled by the biggest hypocritical Pharisee false prophet Joel Osteen who preaches on Prosperity and self promotes his religion and Ministry and claims it has his own Joel Osteen is worth about 12 point billion dollars and got it from poor people like you and me preying on the weak he will answer to God

The atmosphere is faith filling. If you go to a dead church come here. Joel will fill you with a faith filled message that will take you through the week.

Just attended the Hope & Life conference, music was great and uplifting. I saw security being rude to an attendee because he was video tapping his experience, left right after.

I'm Malaysian Christian, I love Lakewood church Sunday service, every Sunday I online to attend the full service and pastor Joel preaching is really awesome.

It was very nice and very peaceful my family and I enjoyed it Mr Joel Odteen pray for my wife Anan

More than an experience I tell you that I wish with all my soul to visit this Church
and hear the word of God in this place. Amen

Thank you Joel.
You keep reminding us that God is for us. It helps to hear that, and was a huge encouragement for me this last Sunday.

I love and endorse Joel Osteen's messages. He is a great man of God and encourage mankind with his gift of interpreting the Word of God. He is doing a Very good work !!

I now know that there is no god due to this church. Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I will keep my 10%.

I love it and look forward to very Sunday . Love my pastor Joel and family . I've been there since 1986 .

I ve only been there on Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings, mostly hoping to catch John Grey. He s great, funny, honest and also well versed with the scriptures and in tuned with his spirituality.

This place has only good vibes. Once a basketball stadium, now a powerful church. Everybody is so nice and loving. The things they did to make a great church. The services arent just services. They relate to everything. A good place for Christianity

I'm always bless and couraged.So awesome to b able to hear and see a church putting God's word and living it.Im not able to get there.Such a blessing to see the service on you tube.It always give me strength.Thank you for being there.i know God got awesome things ahead for the church.Thank you for being faithful.

There's difference between a speaker and a preacher . Please choose whichever you think he belongs. I listen to him every Sunday and I try to grab a word for the week.

Awesome service u feel the connection allover outstanding singing, that's what get's me in the spirit Joel is an extension of his dad

I went as a visitor and had an extremely pleasant experience.

Love this place. The presence of God is always felt and the worship team is amazing. Pastor Nick is an amazing teacher. Bishop John Gray still got it. If you are ever in the need of a church home. I highky recommend. Love it. Love it.

I love worshiping here. The worship songs always heals.

Cool place, Joel wouldn't let me on the carpets though!

One of the most positive pastors I've ever come across!!! So filled with peace and joy!!! Joel's messages have been my inspiration during my most testing times and so relevant to situations that I've been going through!!! Looking forward to visit Texas and listen to him in person!!! May God fulfil my dream soon!!!

I really love this church . Great energy and also a fun atmosphere .

Was there for a hillsong concert. It's Huge facility with good arrangements.

Went to the Spark marriage event and of course it was awesome.

Good service never been to this type of church before it was awesome

Tonight's service was just for me. I enjoyed myself.

Been attending Lakewood since I was a teenager. My life has changed so much for the better and I know it's from hearing Joel's inspirational word every week. I will never leave this church!

Powerful energy in this place. Pastors Osteen are a true blessing! Honored to be able to visit.

Now that I've been at Lakewood awhile I thought I'd write and hopefully provide feedback that might help others, esp. if you're considering moving here to worship here, as I did. This church is helping me mature in my walk with Christ in many unexpected ways. The constant affirmation that God loves us supports me in remaining steadfast in faith and hope. This in turn keeps me on the path, doing the basics, following the Life of God and seeking fresh relationship with God daily through prayer and His Word.

What's unique to Lakewood is how this church promotes my going deeper with Christ while reminding me to enjoy the good things in life in a healthy way. Because there is such a cornucopia of events and fellowship opp's, you can get really anchored in Christ. That's when you start thinking about how nice it is to be alive, in a wholesome way. Truly at Lakewood I'm getting the foundation to discover how good life can be.

Learning how to connect at Lakewood is an art. I have come to develop loving, meaningful, supportive relationships with other committed Christians by serving and attending classes. If I am under attack, I have people who I can ask to pray for me. The results have been astounding, and I feel I've only just begun! There are classes every day, something for everyone. Serving and going to small groups was the key to connecting. If you just go to services, you won't have the same chance to meet like-hearted people. Plus there is a constant stream of visitors who are all in different places in their walk. Once I understood this, I stopped expecting to get things in the service that are available in hundreds of ways outside of it. Another thing to remember is that Lakewood Church serves the world. It's more than a local congregation. When you serve and get to know your local friends here, that's when you get the support and fellowship you need.

Unlike a smaller church, though, you can do as much or as little as you desire. There is such freedom and joy in this! If you are not comfortable with the people in a particular section where you have been sitting, just sit somewhere else. There's room for everybody here. I have a couple friends here who one might say are a little "odd", who have expressed to me how they never felt they fit in in other places, how they always had to worry about gossip and people turning on them. Here, there is a niche for them, whether in greeting or helping in other ways. We all need to belong, we all need to find our kind at the level we are at. This church beautifully and graciously serves that need, embracing everyone to the degree they wish to be embraced.

My boyfriend & I wanted to check out all the hype about Lakewood. It was completely worth the drive of 4 1/2 hours! Joel and Victoria did not disappoint us. And Lakewood, the church was fantastic. And the people were amazingly friendly & helpful... I was relieved to see such a group of believers together instead of a bunch of crazies. Jesus is Lord @ Lakewood!

The peace I feel when I am in here worshipping and singing to Jesus cannot be described. I love my church.

There is a God. His names not joel and he's also not a liar. The bible isn't made to make a terrible person a quick buck.

Love your service every week! God bless you and your ministry

Place of peace and love really the words of the pastor and his helpers are excellent alive

While visiting friends in Houston, I found myself feeling "lost" and "confused" so they pointed me to Joel Osteen's highly esteemed Temple of Mammon, known as "Lakewood Church" officially and colloquially. While I can frankly state that Rabbi Joel Osteen is a very charismatic speaker, he did not remind me of any priest or pastor I ever met. Joel taught us about the One True God, Mammon. Per his sermon I learned that the bottom line of Christianity was something about mansions, Learjets, sports cars, and trophy wives... He was more like a motivational speaker.

After the service, I got a chance to speak with the good rabbi. We had a lovely conversation, partially in Yiddish. I did find his message baffling. I asked him, "is it not easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?" I also brought up the Sermon on the Mount, and that time when Jesus Christ chased the moneylenders out of the Temple. He told me that those passages were entirely metaphorical, that the Christian churches lost and corrupted the original message of the Gospel. I might not be the foremost expert on Christianity, but I definitely had prior familiarity. (Dad's a Jew, mom's a shiksa, and I was raised Christian.) I asked him if his life and/or ministry were exemplary of Christian charity, and if he were concerned about accusations that he is a false preacher teaching a false gospel. He provided a solid rebuttal of sorts along the lines of "if it makes people happy." (Well, hearing about how Jesus wants me to have a mansion, prime transportation (i.e. renting a limousine to the executive airport where my Learjet awaits), and a hot trophy wife sure made ME feel happy!) Osteen justified his writings and ministry on quasi-utilitarian grounds. ("Hey, if it gives goyim hope and makes them happy...") Well then, Joel? All I have to say is, I hope you are able to sleep well... with your hot trophy wife in your mansion.

I think he is the anti-christ that Revalations forewarned about.

Great place for worship system or worship service
Good church
Just because Pastor Austin greeted him in the lobby
Feeling like a celebrity is bitter

Of course, there may be difficulties as a super church

Worship should give glory to God
It feels like a person is in focus ...

Hi Joel and Victoria Osteen will be here in Sunrise FL. on February 6 at Bank Atlantic Center, and what a shame that my daughter and I cannot enjoy her wonderful talk because we don't have the money to buy even the cheapest tickets that are $ 25.00. How much sadness this causes us, hopefully one day we can see it in a place where tickets are cheaper, we will continue to settle for watching it through Television. May God pour many blessings on you all. Blanca Zarran

Not only did we have a great time, but my son did as well. He has special needs and they had an area for kids with special needs. We were visiting from Fort Worth and now my son wants to move to Houston just to go back to Lakewood

Another Jimmy and Tammy Fae Baker rip off in the making.

Truly enjoyed the service and teaching! God bless the Osteen Family and congregation

This church is soooo so amazing me and my kids love it. They love the music ,activities, and Joel and the ministries

Beautiful church!!!! Love the friendly and family love that they have!

Lakewood church has motivated me to be a better father, in all aspects just a better person in general... The love you receive from Joel & other church members is just overwhelming, with such a great impact! God is good!! ALWAYS

The Lakewood Church is my purpose in Houston, to receive the love of God and learn to focus on God

Joel Osteen and his team are the best. God is using him to spread his word and Joel passes it along simply and energetically for everyone to understam that I am sure people all over the world listens to his messa h e

Great church , great message, awesome praise music , please do check it out - life changing experience!!!

I absolutely love it. Church, the classes and being able to volunteer.
