Word of Faith Christian Baptist Church

About this church

Word of Faith Christian Baptist Church in Birmingham begins Sunday with a half-hour small-group Bible study from 10 to 10:30 a.m., followed by worship from 10:30 to 11:45. Children's Church runs alongside most of worship, from 10:30 to 11:30. A Wednesday small-group Bible study meets from 5 to 6 p.m., and Saturday prayer runs from 10 to 11 a.m. This compact schedule gives newcomers a choice between a Sunday morning sequence, a weekday study, and a prayer-focused gathering. The church's visitor message welcomes both people new to Christianity and longtime followers of Christ.

Often shortened to Word Church, the congregation was organized by Pastor Jessie Leonard in 2013. Its history describes a vision of proclaiming a transforming gospel, equipping people to disciple others, and partnering with other churches. The church emphasizes that a congregation is not merely a building but a body of baptized believers who gather for worship, receive biblical teaching, and serve. Ministry categories include adults, young adults, youth, outreach, and small-group study. The official introduction focuses strongly on helping each person discern purpose in God's kingdom, so a visitor seeking conversation may find the small-group hour especially useful. Families should arrive before 10:30 to identify the Children's Church room and confirm age arrangements, since the published page gives the hour but not the full check-in process.
