Living Faith was borne out of a sense of urgency and is founded upon the belief that faith catapultes us into the unknown and gives us the ability to live in the complete will of God. The Scriptures reminds us that "without faith it is impossible to please God and the just live by faith". Living Faith is a place where people learn to live out their "calling" through faith while sharing their experience with unbelievers. One does not need to know the theological arguments for the existence of god to be effective. In fact, its the sharing of our unique experience with others that creates a desire and passion in people to know the God we serve.
Living Faith is also a place for people who have either given up on church, bruised by past church experience, or did not grow up in church. Our aim is to instill in them a genuine love for God that leads them to serve God through the church while serving humanity.
Living Faith is a member church of the Church Of God In Christ which is the largest Pentecostal body in the world.

The mantra of the church comes from the words of bishop mason- Yes Lord.
