The Living Word Church: Shawn & Brenda Kirkland
The Living Word church is a ministry that was birthed out of and supported by Mt. Olivet. Pastor Shawn Kirkland, a son of Mt. Olivet is the founding and current pastor of the Living Word Church in Pittsburgh, PA. The church started in the home of the Kirkland's as a Bible study on October 31, 2001 and they had their first service Easter Sunday, March 31, 2002. Pittsburgh has a very rich religious history and unfortunately, that history can be a huge hindrance in keeping the lost from coming to Christ.
The mission, purpose and drive of the ministry is, to minister to and disciple carnal and nominal Christians, as well as to reach the lost, so that church involvement is not based on religious activity but a personal faith and relationship with the Lord. For the first time since their existence as a church, the Living Word Church is worshipping on their own property. Currently, the church is converting a house for ministry use and planning to build a worship hall for 2009. Pastor Kirkland has been married to the love of his life Brenda for 16 years and the fruit of their love is three children, Faith, Josiah and Joy.
