Making a Difference
We live in an ever-changing world, but the one thing that we know for sure is that we serve an unwavering God! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Here at Living Word, our heart is to be a light and support our community during these unprecedented times by leading with compassion, wisdom, and love. Thanks to your support and our partnership with Good in the Hood, we can make practical help and positive community impact in various ways that much easier.

School Supply Drive
It’s that time of year again! We are just as excited as the kids when it comes to going “Back to School.” Last year we rallied for Crest View Elementary to ensure that these future leaders have the tools they need to succeed.
Brooklyn Park Community Kickback Update
Living Word’s Brooklyn Park Community Kickback was nothing less than a good time! 32+ volunteers from all ages supported 60+ families, friends, neighbors, and business partners. This family-style event allowed participants to enjoy food, music, games, and raffles. A few families stated they felt completely comfortable around our staff and volunteers. They are now looking forward to attending more events. We successfully brought our core values to the community as a team. It was well received.
Brooklyn Park Community Kickback
Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to kick back and relax or have fun in the sun. This year, we want to spread our summer joy with the families in our community while strengthening our outreach efforts by hosting a Free BBQ picnic in the park!
