Living Word Church is Covered!

Living Word Church is in the finishing phases of building their new church home and community center at 1111 Kirby Rd., in Taylor Lake Village.

In partnership with Wycoff Development and Construction Company and Stellar Bank, Living Word is building a 11,170 sq. ft. multipurpose facility which will include a 300 seat auditorium, children’s classrooms, a community room and offices. Keep an eye out for grand opening this summer, 2023!

“Spring rains have slowed us down with finishing the contouring of the land and the planting of new trees, shrubs and flowering plants. But inside is looking really good,” said Soon Lam, Living Word’s Construction Coordinator.

Pastor Brad Heintz said, “He can’t wait to open the doors to the community so that we call can experience God’s love!”

Living Word Church of the Bay Area, is a vibrant family-style, non-denominational gathering of believers who take a pure, simple and real approach to faith and life.

Living Word Church is worshiping at G.W. Robinson Elementary, 451 Kirby Rd. El Lago, TX at 10:30am on Sundays until they move into their new church home and community center.

Everyone is invited to attend and help build a church!
