About Us
OUR COMMITMENT TO GOD'S LIVING WORD- Jesus said, "If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed, and (as a result) you will know the truth and the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32). We believe that our most important calling as a church is to teach people the Word of God! Not just little religious peptalks, but rather giving people the meat of God's Word so they can grow to spiritual maturity. The main focus of some churches is "their music" or the "programs" or "special projects. " But at Living Word Church, we believe the only way we can truly "make disciples" of Jesus Christ is by teaching them His Word. Thus, you will find that we are very intentional about teaching from the Scriptures and showing you: who Jesus really is and who you are in Him; how to live by faith and walk in love; how to walk in the Spirit and what it really means to be righteous. We also teach other important revelations from the Bible, such as: How to discover and walk in your God-given destiny; the power of your words; becoming sons of God and joint-heirs with Jesus, etc. Ephesians 4:14-15 says "We should no longer be children, tossed to and fro, carried away by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men...but speaking the truth in love we may grow up into all things into Him who is the head, Christ." That is why the Word of God is such a high priority for us at Living Word Church- so we can bring people to spiritual maturity in Christ!
EVANGELICAL- We believe in the Great Commission given to us by our LORD Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19-20: "Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age". And Acts 1:8- "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and (as a result) you shall be My witnesses in Jeruselem, Judea, Samaria and to the uttermost parts of the earth". Based on these instructions given by Jesus, we believe that it is our God-given responsibility to share the Good News about Salvation with all people and train people to become mature followers of Jesus Christ, beginning with our own community and then the rest of the world.
AN OPEN BIBLE CHURCH- Living Word Church is a charter member of Open Bible Churches- which is an international fellowship of Pentecostal/Charismatic churches and ministries. Our Pastors are duly licensed or ordained by Open Bible Churches. We participate with this fellowship for leadership accountability, training, ministry networking, national and regional fellowship (conferences, camps, retreats, seminars, etc), planting new churches and sending missionaries.

FULL GOSPEL- We believe that all the promises of God, as shown in the Bible, are available to every born-again Christian believer through obedient faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD. We believe that Jesus made these promises available to us through His death and resurrection. God's Word is active and living and endures forever to all generations; and Jesus Christ is the same- yesterday, today and forever. Therefore, every promise in both the Old and New Testaments are relevant and available today through a relationship with Jesus Christ and by the power of His Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:20-22, Galatians 3:13-4:7; Ephesians 2:11-19; Hebrews 4:12; Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2 Peter 1:2-4)
"Living Word Church is not about Religion but about a Relationship with Jesus Christ!"
