Living Word Muskegon started as a church plant Bible Study in 1985. It was a product of the Word of Faith charismatic movement. As the church has evolved over the years, we are still a Full Gospel church, which means that we believe that the supernatural move of God via miracles, signs and wonders is not just part of the Bible but that it is still part of our lives today. We believe in being filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We believe in expressing our love and devotion to God through praise and worship. We believe in coming together as a body of believers to hear the Word of God preached.

What's the bottom line? More than ever, Living Word Church is committed to fostering a family built around hope. Hope for the future. Hope for better. Hope for progress. Hope in Jesus. And as we move forward as a church family, inclusion and belonging remain at the center of who we are as followers of Christ.
