Who We Are
In December 1990, heeding a divine call, Pastor Beard relocated from Shreveport, LA to Nashville, TN. Soon after, he founded a home-based Bible study group with several colleagues from Saturn.
With the inviting scent of Cajun dishes as a backdrop, the group rapidly grew, drawing individuals eager for a more intimate scripture experience. Recognizing the need for more space, Pastor Beard collaborated with a local church.
This partnership led to the founding of The Living Word Community Church in November 1994, under Bishop Ralph Houston's guidance, starting with three dedicated members.
