Formally known as “Friendship Missionary Baptist Church”, in August of 2012, the church was renamed to “Thee Living Word Church” (TLW), a nondenominational worship center, was founded on love, God’s Word, and a passion for humanity. Led by Pastor Curtis D. Thomas, TLW gives people who need to hear the Gospel, a place to come where the Word of God is alive and vibrant.
Since the birth of TLW, a number of things have occurred under the leadership of Pastor Curtis D. Thomas. On September 23, 2012 TLW ordained Minister Timothy Smith as a Minister of The Gospel. A few short months later, December 2, 2012, a service was held to officially change the name to Thee Living Word Church, Inc. with Dr. Tony Simmons, Pastor of The Marketplace International Church, Jesup, Georgia bringing forth the Word. A few days later, December 18, 2012, TLW acquired 32 acres which are located at E.B. Cooper HWY S.R.119, in the City of Long Reach in Liberty County Georgia.

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. (1 Chronicles 4:10)
