About Us
Briarwood Church is a non-denominational church that was founded in 1966. Its first location was 1200 S. Sumner under the leadership of Wesley Pollett. The church’s name at that time was Lamar Full Gospel Church. In 1970, Gene Allen became the pastor and faithfully served the church for 22 years. In 1987, the church moved to its present location, 1800 W. Harvester Ave. It continues to grow under the pastoral leadership of Lynn Hancock, who became the pastor in November of 1992.
The church is composed of people from all cultural, ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds. United as one voice, they proclaim the truth of God’s Word and God’s love.
Briarwood Church emphasizes four things:
1. Worship
2. Fellowship
3. Evangelism
4. Discipleship
