Who we are
We believe that the local church is the hope of the world – a place where people are being loved back to life. The world doesn’t need another religious institution; it needs a church that’s alive, powerful, compassionate and able to make a positive difference in people’s lives, which we are doing through the G12 Vision.
​
Word of Life was founded by our senior pastors, Art & Kuna Sepulveda, with the Biblical directive to, “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life,” (Acts 5:20), and to, “…hold forth the word of life,” (Philippians 2:16). Our first church service was held on Sunday, September 23, 1984, and we’ve been reaching people and touching lives ever since.
Our vision

Equipping the saints

Our values
In Acts 2:40-47, we see the church in action for the very first time. And we believe it expresses God’s design for His church today. It’s from this passage that we’ve established our ten core values.
