DMN previews new Lakewood Church
Bruce Nichols, the Dallas Morning News' man in Houston, has a sneak preview of the new Lakewood Church and its enthusiastic leader:
Besides prominence and easy access, the remodeled facility will feature the latest bells and whistles for a 21st-century ministry. There are interactive areas for children and youth. The pulpit area is bracketed by eye-catching indoor waterfalls (offering ideal angles for TV cameras). The 11-piece band will have room to grow in an orchestra pit that can be raised and lowered hydraulically.
"We wanted to break everyone's mind-set that it was still a basketball arena," said architect Pete Ed Garrett, who has done work for Disney and Universal Studios theme parks.
