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.

“In church your grandsire cut his throat;
To do the job too long he tarried:
He should have had my hearty vote
To cut his throat before he married.”

“Friends serve central functions for children that parents do not, and they play a critical role in shaping children’s social skills and their sense of identity. . . . The difference between a child with close friendships and a child who wants to make friends but is unable to can be the difference between a child who is happy and a child who is distressed in one large area of life.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
