In the summer of 1946,  Scott and Lola Mitchell with their young son, Gene, moved to Lubbock and began establishing a new  congregation  of Pentecostal  Believers which later affiliated with the ASSEMBLIES of God. That association has continued since the early days of our formation when the fledgling, autonomous Church chose voluntarily to participate in the fellowship of the West Texas Assemblies of God. 

Although the humble building, located in the Arnett-Benson section of north Lubbock, was very modest, the meager crowds rather small, and the first several months fairly challenging, the LORD signally blessed the faithful labors of these pioneer Pastors. 

By the early 1950's Northside Assembly of God, as it came to be identified, had developed into a thriving congregation. It continued effecting a strong impact for the LORD in West Texas, and beyond, for the duration of the Mitchell's 28 years of admirable, fruitful Pastoral leadership. 

Since the mid 1970's the Church has been capably served by other gifted, dedicated Pastors who have significantly contributed to the enduring strength and influence of this congregation. 

In the fall of 1991, Barry and Renee Tilley began serving LWC as Pastors, and their devoted ministry continues today, almost thirty-four years later. 

Living WORD Church celebrated our 75th ANNIVERSARY in 2021. 

We are truly grateful to GOD for our wonderful Pentecostal Heritage,  for His faithful supply of godly Pastoral Leadership and the many dear congregants who have made LWC their Church Home over the years.  We are grateful as well for GOD's many wonderful blessings still being experienced today, and for those promised to us in the days to come!

After over seven-and-a-half decades of Pentecostal ministry, we are confidently optimistic that LWC's future has never been brighter!
