One of our values here at The Word Church is to build healthy relationships and we believe it is important for everyone to discover a place where they can connect and grow. We were never created to “do life” alone and Life Groups exist for individuals to build and develop as a community, which is an important part of maintaining a healthy Christian walk.
Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
In the words of our Worship Leader, Shamira. “Harvey hit our building but it didn’t hit our church.” We are stronger than ever, however, the after effect shifted us in numerous ways. Though we still have a place to worship on Sundays we lost the opportunity to have our traditional mid-week service. But this is where Life Groups come in.
We believe Life Groups are one of the best places to foster significant relationships and growth with God and each other. They provide a great way to connect with a smaller group of people that are brought together by topics/interests, activities, and fellowship. Life Groups are a safe place to be known, encouraged, celebrated, and challenged. The format and atmosphere of each Life Group will be different depending on the leaders and the people in the group, but they all exist to help people connect with each other and with God.
No matter your age or interest, whether you are looking for an accountability group, Bible study, learning Christian basics, financial wisdom and more– In 2019 there will be a group that’s perfect for you! See the exciting new Life Groups set to launch this June listed below and consider selecting the one that fits you the best! We can’t wait to do LIFE with you!
What’s In Your Bible? Pastor J, WORD University Instructor Wednesdays @ 7:13 PM (Beginning Wednesday, March 6)
The most difficult questions in life are answered in the Bible. How to have a successful marriage, how to be a great parent, how to forgive, even how to select friends are all found in the Bible. Matter of fact, the key to total life transformation is found, you guessed it, in your Bible. However, the thought of reading the Bible let alone studying the Bible can be a daunting task for new believer as well as a “seasoned” believer. In this simple, hands on 6-week Life Group, Pastor J aims to offer the attendee 6 unique yet equally effective Bible study methods to help you explore biblical truths, apply them to your life, and grow as a disciple. “What’s In Your Bible” will challenge you to develop a customized, personal approach to exploring and studying the riches of God’s Word for yourself.

Kingdom Woman: Embracing Your Purpose, Power, and Possibilities
Every 1st Saturday of the Month @ 11:00 AM (Beginning Saturday, March 2)
A kingdom woman gives the devil as much reason to fear as a kingdom man. She lives confidently in the knowledge that Christ died and rose for her so that she can experience the significance of the destiny to which she has been called.
In Kingdom Woman, Tony Evans and his daughter, Chrystal Evans Hurst, remind women of their calling from God to be free, delivered, healed, and hopeful. The authors bring insight that encourages women to correct distorted perceptions and understand who they really are in Christ—never settling for less when connected with the One who gives them hope. All believers are covered by God’s covenant with Abraham. Evans and Hurst want women to know these rights and confidently claim and live by them. The new covenant offers more than a life of mediocrity. A kingdom woman is called and empowered to live a life of victory through Christ!

FOR MEN ONLY: “When a man knows who he is in Christ, that he is created in the image of God, is no longer held captive by his past or the opinions of others…He is a powerful force in the earth. – Jamail Johnson
Pastor J has a passion to see Brothers be the best Fathers, Husbands and Men they can be. Through TNT he will focus on helping men find a real way to deal with adversity, the power of thoughts, forward progression, and discovering the path to freedom that allows men to live for God and stay true to His principles while maintaining Manhood.
