About Us

Who We Are

Welcome to Living Word Maricopa

At Living Word Maricopa, you'll find a community that embraces faith, hope, and love as the cornerstones of a life lived in Christ. Led by Pastor Chris Appleton, we are more than just a congregation; we are a spiritual family dedicated to enriching lives and healing souls.

Our Vision: Reaching, Teaching, Mending, Sending

Inspired by the teachings of Christ, our vision is clear and compelling: "Reaching, Teaching, Mending, Sending." We strive to be a prayer beacon in the community, reaching out to the broken, teaching the Word of God, mending hearts, and sending disciples into the world equipped with the love and wisdom of Christ.

A Place of Transformation

Life is filled with challenges and storms. Pastor Chris Appleton, our spiritual leader, knows this all too well from his personal journey from addiction to redemption. Whether you are in a storm, coming out of one, or see one on the horizon, Living Word Maricopa is here to offer prayer and guidance.

Family and Marriage Support

Our church isn't just a place for spiritual worship; it's a sanctuary for families and marriages in need of guidance and support. Pastor Chris and Rosa Appleton bring years of wisdom and compassionate leadership, making Living Word a home where relationships can be nurtured and strengthened.

Partnership with Community of Hope

As we work toward building our own sanctuary, we are thankful to Community of Hope Church for opening their doors for our Sunday evening services. This partnership symbolizes the unity and collaboration that are so vital in spreading the Word of God.

Your Journey Starts Here

We warmly invite you to join us in our mission and vision. Let's walk this journey of faith together, discovering God’s plan for our lives, and becoming the blessings we are destined to be.

What We Believe

We believe the Bible is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit, the infallible revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. Rom. 15:4, 1 Thes. 2:13, 2 Tim.3:16-17, 2 Pet.1:20-21

We believe there is only one true, eternal God revealed in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Gen.1:1, 26, Deut.6:4, Isa.43:10-11, Mt.28:19, Lk.3:22, 1John 5:7

We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, sacrificial death to save us from our sins, and His resurrection and ascension to heaven. Mt.1:21, 23, John 1:1-2, 14, 3:16, Acts 1:2-3, 9, 2:22

We believe in the sinfulness of all mankind and the need of salvation, available only through the blood of Jesus Christ to all who believe and receive Him as Savior. Rom.3:23, 6:23, 10:13, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-7

We believe the finished work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body. Isa.53:4-5, Mt. 8:16-17, I Pet.2:24, James 5:14-15

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life. Sanctification is the process of being separated from sin and dedicated to God, which begins at salvation and continues throughout the lifetime of the believer. Gal.5:22-23, I Thess.4:3-5, 5:23, II Pet.3:18

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is promised to all believers subsequent to salvation as the entrance into a Spirit-filled life including: a prayer language (speaking in tongues), gifts of the Holy Spirit, and power to be a witness and anointed servant of God. Joel 2:28-29, Lk.3:16, Acts 1:4-5, 8, 2:4, 38-39, 10:44-47, I Cor.12:4-11

We believe in the personal, imminent return of Jesus Christ. Acts 1:11, I Thess.4:16-18, Titus 2:13

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to everlasting resurrection life and they that are lost to everlasting damnation. Acts 24:15,I Cor.15:20-23, Rev.20:4-6, 12-15

We believe in the Spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom.15:5, Eph. 4:3, 11-13, Phil. 2:1-5, 1 Cor. 12:14-27, John 17:22-29, Col. 3:12-15, Heb. 10:23-25

We believe in the responsibility of every believer to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Mt.28:19-20, Mk.16:15-20, Acts 1:8, 2:40-41, 47
