SEVEN BEDROCK PRINCIPLES

Bedrock Scripture of The Living Word Church

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12-13, NIV).

Our number one goal is and will always be the salvation of the lost. While we specialize in attracting men, the unsaved, the unchurched, and people who have made mistakes in their past and want a fresh start, we want to extend our reach to include those from other races, cultures, and socio-economic classes.

We will seek the holistic improvement of each member of our ministry spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. We will preach and teach the biblical mandates to achieve success in all these areas. We will also make available the necessary classes, groups, resources, and qualified individuals to help each willing member achieve holistic improvement.

We will empower youth in our church and community with the Word of God, programs, resources, training and state-of-the-art facilities to meet their needs.

We will always specialize in outreach programs for hurting people (i.e. the homeless, the poor, those with substance abuse issues, the incarcerated, those who have suffered from physical, verbal, or emotional abuse, etc.)

We will impact the city of Norristown and the surrounding suburbs with our television ministry (coming soon), radio ministry (coming soon), outreach campaigns, crusades, business development, citywide events, and intercession for the city, partnership with local schools, partnerships with community and city officials, etc.

We will continue to be the model for excellent ministry in our city and in the nation. We will always strive to be excellent in our customer service—how we treat our members, visitors and guests from the moment they walk through the door until when they leave our services, and when they call, email or write with requests or concerns. We will be the standard for excellence in how we do people.

We will stay humble and maintain the spirit of love and realness that we’ve had since day one at all times and give all credit and glory to God for our success.
