‘Faith is going to win’: Lakewood Church services resume week after shooting

Services resumed at Lakewood Church a week after shots were fired inside the building in southwest Houston.

A spokesperson for the church would not discuss any increased security measures for the return.

Genesse Moreno, 36, was killed by off-duty law enforcement working at the church on Feb 11. Her 7-year-old son was shot, and a 47-year-old man was hit and survived.

Editor’s note: Authorities previously stated the shooting victim is 57 years old. On Sunday, the Houston Police Department corrected his age to 47.

After not having service all week, church services resumed with an 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. service, and there will be a 2 p.m. Spanish language service.

Pastor Joel Osteen started the 11 a.m. service with the message he promised of “restoration and healing.”
