Living Word Community
You're Welcome Here!
We are a Community committed to following Jesus. We believe the Word of God is Living and active and deeply experience the love and presence of God by His Spirit.
Our faith in Jesus Christ is best experienced with others, promotes life-change to be more like Him, and empowers us to use our gifts to love and serve the people around us both locally and abroad.
Living Word Community originally was an outgrowth of the Welsh Revival of 1904. It also has roots in the 1906 Azusa Street "Outpouring of the Holy Spirit" in Los Angeles. In the early 1920s, a team of four pastors and prophets came to Philadelphia to report on the move of the Holy Spirit in Wales. In 1927, an Apostolic Church congregation was organized in East Lansdowne. In 1955, the church relocated to Center City Philadelphia, and was known as Philadelphia Gospel Temple. The congregation officially changed its name to The Living Word Community in 1977.
Note: The above descriptive information came from the church's home page and its About page.
