Asian Americans have a difficult time finding a church that fits. The churches many of our parents attended have their place, but sometimes language and cultural differences got in the way of worship and service.

Large numbers of us turned away in frustration. Or we remained in the background, feeling like second-class passengers. Either way, the longing inside of us to know God and worship Him was not satisfied.

From this need the vision for Living Word Bible Fellowship was born. We are a young church made up primarily of Asian American professionals in their 20's and 30's. And we want to be a voice of hope and encouragement to the Asian community and beyond.

The Asian population in Dallas has exploded in the past ten years. According to one recent article in the Dallas Morning News, the growth rate is 72%...almost three times the national average! The 2000 census is likely to show up to 300,000 Asians in the greater Dallas area. Yet there are precious few churches reaching out to meet the spiritual needs of English-speaking Asians.
 

Our dream is to be part of the answer to that need. We believe the young generation of Asian Americans don't need a superficial stained-glass religion. They need to find something real and powerful and life-changing. Something that will give them a new hope, a new purpose, and a new joy in life.

We believe that all of this is found in relationship with Jesus Christ. Not just church, but a discovery of the true and living God who loves us deeply. This is what has changed our lives, and what we long to share with other Asian Americans here in Dallas.

In Christ, we are finding answers to those difficult questions, and discovering who we really are. We are learning how to find true meaning and purpose, how to enjoy real success and satisfaction, and how to reach out to one another in genuine love and caring. And this is what we invite you to be a part of---not just a church, but a living, growing family of faith.

At Living Word, our main focus is on Christ, not culture. We are open to and eagerly welcome all peoples. No matter who you are or what your background, you will find a welcome at our church. Come see us build a church that breaks down walls.
