The Lakewood Church Central Campus (originally The Summit and formerly Compaq Center) is a house of worship in Houston, Texas, United States. It is located about five miles southwest of Downtown Houston, next to the Greenway Plaza.
From 1975-2003 the building served as a multi-purpose sports arena, for various professional teams in Houston.
From its opening until 1998, the building was known as The Summit. Computer technology firm Compaq bought naming rights to the building after that and, until being leased to Lakewood Church in 2003, it was known as Compaq Center.
