To get something that is reasonably responsive you could do something like
functionName[x_, y_, a_?NumericQ, b_, c_] := Sin[a x/4] + Cos[b y/4]*c
ptlist = Tuples[{Range[10, 40], Range[10, 90]}];
(* ptlist is the list of (x,y)-pairs *)
Manipulate[
Module[{interp, x, y},
interp = Interpolation[{{##}, functionName[##, a, b, c]} & @@@
ptlist];
Plot3D[interp[x, y], ##, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow",
PlotRange -> {-2, 2}, PlotPoints -> 20] & @@
Join[{{x}, {y}}, interp[[1]], 2]], {{a, 0.4}, 0, 1}, {{b, 0.4}, 0,
1}, {{c, 0.4}, 0, 1}]

I want to be able to use Manipulate with three slider bars to update the
values of a, b, and c which in turn update the z calculation and update
the plot.
