Church
Lake Tanglewood Community Church started in the summer of 1971 . Several families began meeting in lake-front yards to worship together. In bad weather, they moved into the Community Center for services. The church officially formed on May 9, 1972 with 125 charter members. Construction for the present church building was started in 1973 and dedicated on March 23, 1974. The building was paid for and the note burned in a ceremony exactly one year from the dedication. A fellowship hall and two classrooms were completed in November 2002. The church has had five pasters in its 31-year history. The current pastor is Dr. Roger Hubbard.

The Lake Tanglewood Community church sits on a knoll, its native stone blending into the earth tones of the canyon bluffs, its bell tower standing sentinel over mesquite and yucca. "For where two or three are gathered together in my names, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20 |
