Our Story

In 2006, Pastor Johnson began meeting and sharing the Word of God with 8 family members, who quickly embraced the vision of a unique and destined church…and our ministry was born. Since the journey began, our growth has transitioned us from meeting once a week in a small bible study setting and enduring great challenges to currently offering several worship services, seeing hundreds over the weekend, engaging in outreach campaigns and support opportunities happening each week.

Growth was steady as we were meeting in a small chapel for a few years, but in January 2010 God begin to speak to Pastor Johnson concerning the direction of His call, ministry, outreach and preaching style. At that time the church was named Deliverance Temple Ministries and with the shift of His call came a new name for our Church, it would now be known as The Word Church.  Pastor Johnson threw out tradition and embraced the innovative out the box ministry God placed in his heart. These changes brought about a new mindset that now enables us to reach more people despite where they come from, what they are currently facing or their background. Through this obedience God has favored us to grow and enlarged our territory to walk through the doors of a new location in August 2010 with a solid 40 partners. The space was transformed into our vision that included a bookstore, conference room, 2 children’s classrooms and what we like to call God’s theater that held about 80+ seats. From then until now, the Word has spread and God has escalated our growth beyond comparison. In July 2012 we were blessed to unveil the expansion of our sanctuary to seat 180 seats and acquired another 3000 sq. ft. of space next door to encompass Kidz World, a multi-functional area for our kids ministry and overall church. We continued to grow and in March of 2013, to embrace the increase God is sending our way we had no other choice but to undergo another renovation in which we, joined our two buildings, expanded the sanctuary to now seat nearly 250 seats, created classrooms, and begin implementing plans to open WORD+MART, an outreach food pantry. In late August of 2013 to help kick off the re-launch of our IMPACT TEENS we divided WORD+MART to create a gathering place for our teens and our pantry is now open to serve our community. In 8 years we have grown from 40 partners to over 800 and we are continuously growing. God has favored us thus far and we can’t wait to see what He does next!

Pastor Johnson’s vision is creative, innovative and out the box and God is using the partners of The Word Church to impact many with this down to earth captivating style of ministry. We are committed to being God’s unique loving representatives here on earth. We have been privileged to affect thousands of lives in our area and throughout the city of Houston through our outreach programs and community services.

God gave us a heart for people of all races, backgrounds and walks of life. We strive to impact our communities, our city and as far as we are favored to reach.  We have experienced tremendous growth and unique influence, God has favored us thus far and we can’t wait to see what He does next!

What We Believe

The Holy Bible

I Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13

We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal, including scientific and historical as well as moral and theological.

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a Person of the Trinity. When Jesus ascended to the Father, He promised His disciples “another Helper,” the Holy Spirit (see John 14:16–17). In Greek, the word another means, “another of the same kind.” Jesus promised a supernatural Helper just like Him.

Christ’s Death, Resurrection and Bodily Ascension

We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples.

The Bible teaches the return of the Lord Jesus Christ for those who believe in Him.

Salvation By Grace Through Faith

Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins.

Water Baptism

Matthew 28; 19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6

We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ.

Baptism Of The Holy Spirit

Acts 2:1-4; 8:14, 17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Sprit as an experience subsequent to salvation.

THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, and as manifested in the Early Church.

SPIRIT-FILLED LIVING

Ephesians 5:18; I Corinthians 6:14; 7:1

We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith.

HEALING

Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:1

We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church.

COMMUNION

We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers.

ETERNAL LIFE

Mark 9:43-58; II Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15

We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 3:16) and eternal punishment for unbelievers.

SATAN and HIS JUDGMENT

Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10-15

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal judgment of Satan and his angels.
