Info

The Lakewood Church Central Campus (originally The Summit and formerly Compaq Center) is a megachurch in Houston, Texas. It is located about five miles southwest of Downtown Houston, next to the Greenway Plaza.
From 1975 to 2003 the building served as a multi-purpose sports arena for various professional teams in Houston, most notably the NBA's Houston Rockets. It was known as The Summit until 1998, when technology firm Compaq bought naming rights to the building; it was known as Compaq Center until 2003. At that point the name was dropped, coinciding with opening of the Toyota Center as a new professional sports venue in Houston. Shortly after, the building was leased out to Lakewood Church for use as its main facility. Lakewood Church purchased the building outright in 2010 from Warren Buffett.
