Worship Services
Living Word’s services, like many larger churches, are polished and incredibly professional. Transcripts of each sermon are available online, and the services themselves can also be streamed via the internet. Sunday morning services last for an hour and a half, and include sermons from several different pastors at Living Word Similar services also take place on Saturday night. A mid-week service on Wednesday nights emphasizes “the entire body of Christ moving throughout the earth with unified purpose and Holy Spirit power.” The Wednesday night service does not draw as many people as the Sunday sermons.
Until 2018, a Sunday night service, “The Fifth Service,” attracted older youth, high school and college-aged, to a powerful and contemporary worship service that utilized booming and upbeat music to minister to the younger crowd. The Fifth Service could draw 600 young adults on any given Sunday, and sermons were also available online. In addition to the regular weekly services, twice daily prayer groups meet at Living Word on weekday mornings and afternoons to engage in “corporate prayer,” or prayer that focuses on one specific issue as a cohesive group, rather than many individual and separate prayers. Living Word’s corporate prayers center around issues such as family, America, finances, revival, and Israel. Different members of the Living Word community lead each of these prayer groups.
