The Word and Life Network was established in 2003 by the late Pastor Ronnie Barnard to extend the reach of the local church beyond traditional boundaries. Inspired by Matthew 5:14, it began as a fellowship of 15 churches and has grown into a network of international churches.
We exist to support and equip Church Leaders to fulfil the vision that every Church should become like a city on a mountain that cannot be hidden.
We value growing together through Godly connections, serving our communities with love and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“God will make Word and Life Church like a CITY on a MOUNTAIN that CANNOT be HIDDEN.”
“… to EQUIP his people for WORKS of service, so that the body of Christ may be BUILT up.”
Four key commitments that shape how we walk together as a fellowship.
Growing deeply in our personal relationship with Christ and mature leadership.
Building authentic brotherhood and life-giving covenant fellowship among leaders.
Serving our congregations and surrounding communities with genuine love and compassion.
Boldly preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to all creation across the nations.
“… GO into all the WORLD and preach the gospel to all creation.”
