About Us

At The Word Church, we value connection and community. Our teachings are built around connecting people to each other and to God.


We are a welcoming and open church that encourages people to come and share in the love of Jesus. Come join our community and grow in your faith alongside others who have the same beliefs and values.

Why We Exist

Our mission is to see the Gospel of Jesus fully proclaimed, lived out, and demonstrated in power in the city of Lloydminster and to the surrounding region. We believe that a big part of this is not confined to our weekly gatherings, but also in making disciples, in training and equipping believers to boldly walk through the doors that God opens for them, confident that He is more than able to back up His Word. With this in mind, every time we gather is an opportunity to worship, to encourage, and to be equipped.


We strongly believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Because of this, we believe that the Spirit of God alive in the Bible is alive today! Anchored in God's promises found in scripture, we are a church that believes that the Gifts of the Spirit, healing, deliverance, and a God who still speaks are not merely historical concepts, but vital elements of the church.


Above all these things, we believe that the love of Christ is the greatest gift of all, and it is our mission to not only preach about that love but to walk it out in our daily lives. It is our hope and prayer that we will continue to grow in that love, and so grow further into Him, shining His light into dark places, bringing His hope into hopeless places, and demonstrating to the world that His love changes everything!

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • God

    There is only one, true God, eternally existing in three distinct persons. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, having the same nature, attributes, and perfections. God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of the universe.


    [ Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Timothy 2:5; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Corinthians 13:14 ]

  • Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ is the Son of God, meaning He is coequal with the Father. He is the expressed image of the invisible God and Creator of all things. He became a man, being born of the virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. Consequently, Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He rose bodily from the dead after three days, demonstrating His victory over sin and death. He ascended to heaven, is seated in authority, and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.


    [ John 1:1-5,14, 5:18; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3, 4:14-15; Philippians 2:5-11; Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-10 ]

  • Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son. People are re-generated (born again) by the Holy Spirit, and He lives in believers to manifest the character of Christ. He provides believers with power for holy living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance for life. He also gives Christians spiritual gifts, so they might serve the church and the world in a manner that surpasses their own natural abilities and limitations. The victorious Christian life must be lived under His daily guidance. We believe that every gift of the Spirit present in the New Testament is present in the church today, and should be practiced in humility, faith, and love in proper submission to the Head, which is Christ.


    [ Genesis 1:2; John 14:16-17, 16:7-13; Acts 1:8, 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 2:10-14, 12:3-11; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; Galatians 5:22-25; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18 ]

  • People

    People are created in the image of God, and are designed to reflect His character. People are the supreme object of God's creation and love. Through willful transgression and disobedience, people have fallen from their originally created state of righteousness, peace, and joy into a state of separation from God. Being separated from the source of life, love, and joy has resulted in bondage and death. People are unable to deliver themselves from their sinful condition, but are totally dependent upon the power of God as presented in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


    [ Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23; 5:12-21 ]

  • Salvation

    Because people are unable to save themselves from their sinful condition, salvation is altogether the work of God. Neither good works nor self-improvement can make up for our sin. Salvation is the perfect, free gift of God. However, like any gift it must be received. This gift is received by faith, or by believing and trusting in Jesus Christ who died as our substitute that we might live. Through the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as the son of God, we turn from our self-ruled life to trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior.


    [ John 1:12; 14:6; Romans 5:6-21, 6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5 ]

  • The Church

    The church is composed of all who have experienced, through faith in Christ, the new birth into the family of God. All true believers are then members of the universal church — the body of Christ. Since the New Testament exhorts believers to gather for such purposes as worship, prayer, fellowship, sharing the Lord's Supper, teaching of the Word, ministry to fellow Christians, and evangelism, the local church is an indispensable part of God's plan for His people and the world. The work of parachurch groups is appreciated, but the local church is God's chosen instrument for both the nurture of Christians and world evangelism. We believe in the spiritual unity of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and in cooperating with one another for the causes of evangelism, social action, and missions.


    [ Matthew 16:16-18; Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; 1 Corinthians 14; Ephesians 1:22-23, 4:4-6, 9-16 ]

  • Eternal Destiny

    God created people to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. Eternal separation from God is Hell. Eternal fellowship and union with God is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.


    [ John 3:16; Matthew 25:31-46, 19:29; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15 ]

  • Prayer

    We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.
