HISTORY
LakeRidge Baptist has been a fixture in the LakeRidge area of Lubbock since the mid-70s. Before the LakeRidge community existed, we started meeting in this area as Southwest Baptist Church.
We believe that God sent us to this area to help people who are far from Him to find and follow Jesus Christ.
Central Baptist Church
LakeRidge Baptist began as Southwest Baptist Church in the 1970s as a church plant of Central Baptist Church in downtown Lubbock. The foresight to purchase ten acres on 82nd Street laid the foundation for LakeRidge Baptist to become the church it is now.
Little House on the Prairie
This small building served the congregation until the first permanent facility was built. That early structure, sitting alone in the cotton field, was called the “Little House on the Prairie” by many. Over the years, LRBC has added multiple extensions to become the full campus that exists today.
LakeRidge Baptist Church
By God’s grace the 1,200 sq. ft. “Little House on the Prairie” has grown into a 10 acre, 35,000 square foot complex housing our sanctuary, offices, kitchen, gym, student center, and children’s wing, with a large storage facility and 2 baseball fields. To God be the glory!
