What They Say
My family and I found a church home at Word of Life. Pastor, the church elders and congregation have made us feel like we belong ever since we initially walked through doors. At each gathering, the preaching, prayer and selfless acts reflect a daily deep communion with Divine Love.
Word of Life Church under the leadership of the honorable Dr. Julius Sims truly exemplifies its motto, “Exposing God’s Light and establishing Godly relationships”. He teaches core values. He’s a stickler on understanding the value of Kingdom living and the importance of a good prayer life. The atmosphere is awesome, and the members are genuine. I have learned how to truly stand in the midst of challenges allowing my teachings to align with my actions.
This is a community of believers where spiritual growth, personal development, and God’s love through others have been a great blessing to my life. I have benefited greatly by what’s been taught and support received.
