Living Word Lutheran Church was formed in 2009 as a new congregation affiliated with Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC).
The LCMC was founded in 2001 as an association of confessional Lutheran congregations and pastors worldwide.
LCMC is made up of people who gather around the Word and Sacraments.
Living Word first held meetings at Ballou Jr. High School, secured office space, and moved its Sunday services to the Meridian Habitat Center in Puyallup.
In the fall of 2019, the congregation purchased the property where it currently worships.
The first service was held on the first Sunday of Advent. Living Word is firmly committed to the authority of the Bible.
Living Word's congregational faith statement says:
"This congregation accepts the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God
and the authoritative source and norm of its proclamation, faith, and life."
In addition, we as a congregation and as an association affirms the Reformation motto of "Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Word Alone."
With these free gifts, we are to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ" (II Peter 3:18, NKJV)
so that "we no longer should live the rest of our time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God" (I Peter 4:1 NKJV).
