AUXILIARIES IN MINISTRY GET ON THE SHIP!

At Word of Life Temple, we believe every member has a divine assignment and a place to serve. Our auxiliaries in ministry provide meaningful opportunities for growth, connection, and Kingdom impact. Guided by our unique organizational structure known as the Five Ships — Worship, Discipleship, Fellowship, Friendship, and Stewardship— each ministry operates with purpose, excellence, and spiritual accountability. These “ships” form the foundation of our church’s culture, leadership, and administration, ensuring that every act of service flows in alignment with our mission to Reach, Restore, and Rebuild lives. Whether you’re gifted in teaching, hospitality, outreach, media, or the arts, there’s a ministry at WOLT waiting for your hands and your heart! Our Theme for the year is "Moving Forward in Faith with God"!
