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 Values.

What We Believe.
- We are a New Testament local church (1 Timothy 4:11-16; Hebrews 10:24-25).
- We believe that the Bible is divinely inspired and is the revealed will of God (Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
- We believe in the Triune Godhead: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 3:21-22; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
- We believe that in order to receive salvation, one must be born again (John 3:3; Romans 10:9-10).
- We believe that all Christians should be water baptized as commanded in the Scriptures (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-28).
- We believe that all Christians are endowed with certain spiritual gifts (Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:18-28).
- We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues (Acts 1:4-5, 8; 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:2-6).
